Should I assume the probabilities listed this week are for the home teams?
It's in a different format than before. Looking over the numbers, it appears as though the probability is for the home team (the second team listed).
When Nate Silver makes an estimate of a probability, his favored pick (even if it is only 50.3%) always wins, he is 99 out of 100.
Brian, i'd make a lot of money if your probabilities also behaved like that.
:)
fyi, the chances that every one of the "favorites" win all 14 games is 0.12%
