When I worked for ESPN full time, I put out a weekly article entitled the Vegas Power Ratings. I still have all the sources that I used to produce that article as it featured my plus/minus ratings which closely resemble Vegas’s numbers as well as three different casinos including the fine folks over at the Westgate Las Vegas Sportsbook @SuperBookSports.

This is not the AP poll but gives you an idea of how much teams would be favored over another team if they met on a neutral field. I use these to get an idea of lines on upcoming games. Keep in mind just because a team beat someone last week does not mean they would be favored over them in the Vegas ratings. I will update these each week during the year as always.

As an example, Duke beat Clemson 28-7 but if the two teams plays this week at a neutral site Clemson would be a TD+ favorite. Tennessee just lost at Florida in the Swamp but if the two teams played again this week at a neutral site Tennessee would be favored.

Here is the fifth edition of the 2023 Vegas Power Ratings!
