xHPI continued its relatively strong performance finishing five games above .500 against the spread, having another strong week on all games, and finishing above .500 on its best bets. The worst performance was on the “alternate” best bets, where xHPI finished exactly .500.
| Last Week | Percentage | Season | Percentage | |
| Against the Spread | 30-25-2 | 54.5% | 257-230-8 | 52.8% |
| Straight-Up | 45-12 | 78.9% | 375-119 | 75.9% |
| Best Bets | 3-2 | 60.0% | 24-21 | 53.3% |
| Alt. Best Bets | 3-3 | 50.0% | 18-9 | 66.7% |
I will continue to track xHPI vs. the alternate version that excludes the results of games against non-FBS teams. The results remain mixed.
| Last Week | Percent | Season | Percent | Week Diff. from Score | Season Diff. from Score | |
| xHPI | 30-25-2 | 54.5% | 85-75-6 | 53.1% | 10.17 | 11.34 |
| Alt. HPI | 31-24-2 | 56.4% | 82-78-6 | 51.3% | 9.91 | 11.41 |
