The NFL Computer Rankings are calculated as follows:
Example: Dolphins at Patriots
The Dolphins average point differential (all games): +8
The Dolphins average point differential (road games): +4 (the Dolphins will be the road team)
Average of the above two numbers: +6 (this is the measure the Patriots will be judged against)
Scenario 1: If the Patriots win by 4, their "Power Score" for this game would be +10 (4 + 6). This is because the
Patriots were ten points better than a typical Dolphin opponent.
Scenario 2: If the Patriots lose by 4, their "Power Score" would be +2 (-4 + 6). Despite the loss,
the Patriots performed two points better than a typical Dolphin opponent.
Scenario 3: If the Patriots lose by 10, their "Power Score" would be -4 (-10 + 6). In this
scenario, the Patriots performed worse than a typical Dolphin opponent by 4 points.
If the Patriots were playing the Bengals and the Bengals typically lose by 10, the
Pats would need to win by 11 or more to achieve a positive "Power Score." If the Patriots won by 3, they
would still have a negative score because they performed worse than the typical Bengals opponent.
A team's Total Power Index ("PWR" in the table above) is the sum of a team's "Power Score" for all games
divided by the number of games played PLUS a winning percentage component (from a minimum of -4 to a
maximum of +4). Please note that a team's "Power Score" in each individual game cannot exceed 12 in
a victory and 5 in a loss nor can it be less than -12 in a loss or -5 in a win. The maximum "PWR" value
that a team could have is 16 (12 for the "Power Score" and 4 for the winning percentage adjustment). By the
same token, no team could have a score worse than -16.
