THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titans | -16.2 | +3.6 | -19.8 | -5 |
| Colts | -1.5 | -2.8 | +1.3 | +10 |

average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.
