How picks are counted

A pick is the side our rating model favored the last time we recorded it before kickoff. A game with no recorded pick, and a tie, is left out. The chance shown beside this week’s games comes from the playoff simulation, so it can differ from the chance behind the pick.

Every game where our model and the betting line split is on where we disagree. For the table, see the standings.
