I played the exact same way, down to distribution.

P.S. I know there are most likely other explanations. But this seemed like a pretty glaring example.

I think on average, it's worth 3-4 points. But that's a total of a 6-8 point swing from A+ home to A+ away. Does seem like weird upsets happen most of the time when the good team is on the road though.

I agree. It just seemed like more than random variations when the differential is so large.
