The BGS Power Ratings (aka, The Oddsmakers Bible) are the most accurate Ratings in existence for the purposes of predicting game outcomes.
To use the Ratings, simply subtract the home teams Home-Rating from the visting teams Away-Rating. The resulting integer would be assigned to the home team as a pointspread and would reflect the predicted MARGIN of VICTORY.
