NOTE:  At the beginning of the season, I decided to have the computer
use 50% of it's rating from the last 3 games a team has played and the
other 50% from the teams season totals.  As you can see, my point
spreads haven't worked out too well using this method.  Beginning with
this week, I have gone back to the way it was done last year by using
only the season totals for each team.  Hopefully, the spreads will be
better from here on in.  Last year, the computer was making the spread
slightly better than 50% of the time.

  Mugs Away, Mate!
