These are not necessarily picks, as in predictions, but show the power rating's (PR) differences among the teams. The PR is composed of the three WIN-point columns (WIN, OPPONENT and OPPONENT's OPPONENTS) and the three SCORING categories(OFFENSIVE, DEFENSIVE and MARGIN). The team with the plus (+) is that much stronger than the team they're playing. Also, the rank is the TSR rank.

SEASON: 45-21 overall.
NOTE: The Pick record is only the result of the favorite winning, not the whether the team covered the points.
