HOME, AWAY, and NEUTRAL ratings are displayed to calculate a pointspread for any game location. To calculate a predicted pointspread for a game, compare the HOME and AWAY ratings for the appropriate teams and subtract the lower team's rating from the higher team's rating. Use the NEUTRAL category if the game is being played on a neutral field. To calculate the predicted total points to be scored in a game, add the away team's OVER/UNDER VALUE INDEX to the home team's OVER/UNDER VALUE INDEX. Use the NEUTRAL category if the game is being played on a neutral field. The Value Index was created by Mike Seba of Computer Sports World. Copyright 1997 Data Broadcasting Corp.
