Thanks for putting these up again it’s really helpful. Is it common to have a slight difference when working least squares from the margin of victory as opposed to working it out from the points? (as when working it from the mov I get the results above, but when working it out from points I’m usually up to +/-2 on some teams - differences average to zero obviously). Thanks.
