Elo rating history
How these ratings are built
BBMI NFL ratings use opponent-adjusted EPA (expected points added per play) on both sides of the ball, plus home field and rest. The power rating is the projected margin against an average team on a neutral field — the same number that drives the playoff simulation.
NFL is analytics-only: BBMI publishes ratings and projections, not betting picks. See the methodology for why.
