THE WIDER PICTURE

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vikings | -20.8 | -2.2 | -18.6 | -6 |
| Bears | -15.0 | -4.5 | -10.5 | +0 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
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.
