In the weekly Vegas Rankings, four categories convey what the “experts in the desert” truthfully think about the teams:
TRUE POWER: How good Vegas thinks a team really is.
THE HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE: The value of each team’s home field.
BETTOR BIAS: How many points the public overvalues (positive numbers) or undervalues (negative numbers) a team.
POINT-SPREAD POWER: The combination of True Power and Bettor Bias.
