Method: Error is the absolute difference between Composite's predicted scoring margin and the actual scoring margin, using the same visitor-minus-home sign convention as the predictions page. Each evaluation uses the prior week's ratings and that system's home-field advantage. Winner accuracy includes only completed games with a matching final score. A negative signed error means the predictions leaned slightly more toward the designated home team than the actual margins did.
