They should make sense. They are simply the difference between your predicted outcome and the actual outcome. If the score was 7 - 0 and you said it would be 10 - 3, the difference would be 0 -- both outcomes have a spread of 7. If you had said 10 - 0 then the difference would be 3. The closer to zero, the more accurate the prediction. Unfortunately, a cursury look at this I made a few minor math errors -- but, oh well, I was never a math major.

Huh? These numbers don't make any sense. This is more Goodger fuzzy math!
