This web site has confused me...it doesn't give examples. Since your post, I've been going through my formulas etc to see if I read the web site correctly in my calculations.
The paragraph before the one you quoted:
"Then you would check out the two teams in the matchup for which you are looking to bet on, and starting with the home team, you would take the number of goals they average on their own ice and divide it into the league average to figure out their percentage compared to the rest of the NHL. You do this for both the goals scored and against, for both the home and away teams."
I did forget a step, but you have it backwards...its League Average/Home Ice Average.
I'm not arguing, I just want to make sure I get this right. The web site I found for post #41 has examples and I was doing the formuli for it now onto my spreadsheet.
Let me know what you think.
It looks like Covers is switching over to the new format. I was logged out under the old, wouldn't let melog in until I switched to the new format.

looking at the new web site in post #41 and comparing with the above, I have it backwards...it's team ave/league ave. Mathematical word problems suck and it's been a long time since I had a high school test on math.

MPG, check me if I'm doing this right...For Phil away vs Chic
Phil ave 3.5 goals scored away....3.5 / 2.967 (league away ave goals) = 1.18
Chc ave 2.0 goals against home....2.0/2.967 = .674
1.18/.674=1.75....1.75*2.967 (league away ave goals) = 5.192
...you would take the number of goals they average on away and divide it into the league average to figure out their percentage compared to the rest of the NHL. You do this for both the goals scored and against...
... you would take the road team’s offensive percentage by the home team’s defensive percentage, and then multiply that number by the league average for goals scored by the away team. That would give you the predicted number of goals for the road team in this particular matchup. ...
Did I do this correctly,as this is what I'm doing...

Added new projections called GSGA2 from different web site using medians instead of averages (for league scoring). I will reset GSGA in other thread to zero as I messed up a bit as you can tell from above. Still waiting for MPG to reply current formulas are correct. I will adjust if need.
