Our rating is season-to-date point differential on a 1500 scale, blended with last season while this one is young. proj is our projected margin for Lions in a game that has not kicked off — fitted on 1,087 games and scored on seasons it never saw. Against the closing line over a full season it went 133–133, dead level, so it is for understanding a game rather than beating a price.
