Power ratings put a number on how strong each team is. A higher number means a stronger team. The gap between two teams' ratings, plus a few points for playing at home, is the margin the algorithm expects — that's how an algorithm turns ratings into picks.
Each algorithm builds its ratings from the stats it was given. Every stat is measured against the league average, flipped when a lower number is better (fewer points allowed, fewer turnovers), weighted by how much the algorithm cares about it, and scaled. Each algorithm uses its own stats database. This page shows the ratings of the house algorithm — the site's own official algorithm. This week's movers are the teams whose house rating rose or fell the most since last week.
