Powerratings.com has been online since August 1997. Over the years, we have made mathematical forecasts for tens of thousands of games in four sports. Time to take a little break. We are passing on covering baseball for the 2024 season.

We will be back when footballs fly though the air in September.

Not to worry. We will cover college basketball through the championship game and the NHL through the Stanley Cup finals.
