Predicted margin in points, each system carrying its own home-field bump. The year under a name is the season those ratings come from. The market row is the spread as it stands, an average of 2 books (Bovada, DraftKings) via collegefootballdata.com, updated Aug 25, 3:49 AM ET. Where that is last season, the rating is regressed toward the mean for how wrong a rating can be about a team this early. All 4 systems side with the favorite.
