Do you know how often road dogs cover league wide? How often the point spread actually comes into play? The team at the top of this sorted listing usually winds up in the big one. <br><br> <a href="GRIDRTNG.TXT">Power Ratings<a> OK, so its not your conventional Power Ratings, but you can see how each of the teams stacks up in any of 16 categories, and who is best overall, and who is worst, all in one easy listing. <br><br> <a href="GRIDCOMP.TXT">Schedule Strengths<a> Nobody does it like GRIDLINE. The only truly accurate schedule strength formula, plus end of season projections based on teams past performance and future schedule difficulty. <br><br> <a href="GRIDLINE.TXT">Weekly Forecast<a> Tomorrows box scores today. Need we say more? And GRIDLINE tracks its own performance with its <a href="GRIDHIST.TXT">Season to Date<a> and <a href="GRIDTEAM.TXT">Team by Team<a> forecast records vs the spread. <br><br> There's lots more, check our favorite links for weather or injury reports, and don't forget to visit out our features including GRIDLINE's open forum <a href="msgboard.mv">Discussion Board<a>, and our very special <a href="glmascot.html">mascot</a> and please, feel free to contact us at gridline@gridline.us if you have any questions. <br><br> <font color="black" size=5> <b><i>GRIDLINE's Mission Statement</i></b> <br><br> <font color="black" size=4> <p> GRIDLINE By The Numbers presents a no-nonsense, purely scientific approach to football handicapping. All of the statistical listings and game projections on this site are 100% computer generated. <br><br><a name="mission"> The GRIDLINE philosophy is based on the belief that trends and biases are not condusive to successful sports handicapping. While intuitive reasoning can be effective over short periods of time, success in the long run requires detachment from one's emotional tendencies. Where sports handicapping is concerned trust your brain, not your heart. <br><br> The GRIDLINE forecasting algorythm is based on the theory that a teams personality, its strengths and weaknesses, are reflected in the statistical breakdowns of their past performances. By analysing statistics and comparing them with corresponding statistics of their opponents, a final score can be projected that will approach the actual <a href="http://www.cheapchristianlouboutin.net/2016/10/30/the-style-of-christian-louboutin-shoes/">christian louboutin shoes</a> and <a href="http://www.sirshoe.com/2015/12/29/turnover-of-christian-louboutin-brand/">christian louboutin shoes brand</a> game score if both teams play to form. It may sound simple but it isn't, the algorythm features linear algebra and the algebra of matrices, differential equations and calculus of several variables. </p> </tr> </table> </BODY>
