Every game this weekEvery game
Biggest moves first · every number opens the mathBiggest firstLine = your SI − opponent SI before the game · SI change = 0.2 × (margin − line) · Out of state: the opponent's SI is estimated.
The line is the gap between the two teams' Strength Index before the game. Beat it and your SI rises by a fifth of the difference; fall short and it drops. From 2026 the margin counts up to 35.
How the ratings work →Our opponent strength is within about half a point of the official NJSIAA numbers.
Why →The Strength Index freezes after Week 7, so later weeks show how far each team beat or missed the line instead.
