When putting together daily fantasy football lineups, a natural starting point is the "implied" scores for the upcoming games.
Here's how an implied score is derived:
The Ravens are on the road against the New York Giants in Week Six. The total over-under score for the game was 43.5 points at midweek. The Ravens were a three-point favorite. Taking into consideration both the over-under total and the point spread, the implied score of the game is Ravens 23.25, Giants 20.25, adding up to 43.5 with the Ravens winning by three.
