How to read this table
Win chances are our model for Rhodes College, through 6 games. This week's game comes from the playoff simulation, later games from the rating model. They are estimates and move every week.
Line is the closing point spread for Rhodes College: a minus number means favored. A green check means the team covered it, by the number beside it. A red cross means it fell short by that much.
