Entropy System 2016 Pre-season Ratings

Pre-season ratings are generated by examining several factors, such as ratings from recent seasons, numbers of returning starters, and whether or not a team's QB is a returning starter, to name the basics.

The numbers may change due to injuries, suspensions, and transfers. Please visit again for updates.

Rough estimate predictions can be made from differences in power rating values (adding 3.5 points to the home team). Our official predictions are obtained through a more complex process. Visit the Entropy home page for more.
