I agree with Larry. There are things you need to explain about the
neural net. How come the Rams, Geeen Bay and the Bucs win, yet their
value goes down, whilst the Saints lose and their value stays the
same, and _even_worse_, the Chargers lose and their value increases.
I may be stupid (I'm a skins fan :-), but I don't get it.
Explain please.

Andy.
