Each game is compared with the opponent’s scoring and points/goals allowed in its other completed games, excluding that game. An opponent needs two other games; each qualifying game has equal weight. Positive values mean scoring above the opponent’s usual allowance or allowing below its usual scoring. These are historical comparisons, not pregame predictions. Scoring includes offense, defense and special teams. Samples under five qualifying games are limited.
