The Week #(current week) Menu lists the results of the games played that week with the home team in upper case letters.  The Next Week Menu lists the games scheduled for the next week.

Use these to get a quick listing of the previous week’s results or the next week’s schedule. If you choose one of the games from either menu, a game comparison window will open. In each case, the two teams are compared statistically.

Since there are no scores for 1992, the final results of 1991 for the two teams are used for comparison of past performances. Once you have entered scores for week #1, this will change to the 1992 records. If it is a conference game, each team’s conference record is included. If it is an inter-conference game, then the inter-conference records are used, or if it is a division game, the division records are used. The visiting team’s road records is included since they are the road team, and the host team’s home records is included since they are the home team.

Each team has two groups of records. First, this year’s records (or last year’s records if no scores are in) and, then, the archive years’ records. The records are for regular season games only. These are followed by the previous games between the two over the last five years. (If you have those years on your disk.)

In the early stages of a season, the records for this year may not be of much value. In that case, you may want to use the teams’ records for a year or two ago. To do so: Close the game comparison window(s). Set that number of years to track in Preferences under the File Menu. Choose the game again from the Next Week Menu and then use the archive years’ records as indicators.

Use the Game Window stats to fine tune your picks in close games or to predict possible upsets.

You may have up to 10 windows open at the same time. Use the same procedures as outlined above for the team schedule windows.
