Inside the (...) above is each system's won/loss record: first "straight up", and then against the spread (when disagreeing with the favorite listed by "the bookies"). The 3rd number listed is for ties: the number of games that the model thinks is dead even. The favorites won 12 and lost 10, and 9 of the 22 favorites covered the spread in 1998 (with one game equal to the point spread, i.e. "a push").
