Maxwell Ratings’ forecast for Week 8 games

Here is the Week 8 schedule with projected margins of victory, courtesy of the Maxwell Ratings. The projected winner is on the left. The projected margin of victory is on the right. The Maxwell computer ratings take into account each team’s historical and current season performance. The projected margins additionally consider actual scoring patterns and so may not match the projected margins when using the ratings alone. Games involving out-of-state teams are not included because of lack of data on those opponents, but they are listed below.
