FYI...........................

I'M REALLY NOT SURE.....
*WHY SO MANY ARE CONFUSED BY POWER RATINGS / AND THEIR USE....
*many pros.....who often bet multiple sports....may base a play solely off PR differentials.....one of 2-3 points = a play in NFL.....maybe slightly more in CFB
ME?....I use them as a starting point.....to suggest VALUE
*just as a day trader might for example
I then investigate further....considering situational and match-up factors........> kinda sorta..... 'what is this companies track record / past performance......leadership .....what does the future hold?...+++++
*sometimes if the value is great enough of course....you play immediately
WHY.....in TF
*would anyone interpret having a solid basis for determining VALUE........as some GUARANTEE of success?......

especially game by game?.....
EGGZACTLY.....how OBTUSE can (you) be?......no limits it seems....
*IF..... 2 given teams would play say 10X for example....you would see that (solid) numbers are pretty close
eg. Bama vs Ole Miss ?.....they play 10X.....Bama's MOV would probably be about 7'-10 points on average......The Rebels might just win that 1st one........does that mean that your numbers were wrong?....or even need to be (necessarily) adjusted......OF COURSE NOT ................... holy crap it ain't that tough ........

back shortly................
