English term or phrase: handicapping
and if I'm handicapping the field tonight, I expect him to move on.

I know handicapping is practice of assigning advantage through scoring compensation. But I didn't get it here.

The field means the other contestants here.

Thank in advance,

أتوقع / أتنبأ/ أراهن
Explanation:
if I\'m handicapping the field tonight, I expect him to move on.

إذا توقعت النتائج الليلة, برأيي (أتوقع) سيواصل التقدم

إذا قمت بالتنبؤ بالنتائج الليلة, برأيي (أتوقع) سيواصل التقدم

إذا قمت بالمراهنة الليلة, برأيي (أتوقع) سيواصل التقدم



In this context, I would say the meaning of 'handicapping ''' is ""forecasting "as the following :

To handicap - attempt to forecast the winner (especially in a horse race) and assign odds for or against a contestant

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/handicaping

In the United States the term handicap also denotes the process of setting the odds for two teams in a baseball match, or for the horses in a race, and so on. These odds are assumed to properly reflect the respective winning chances, with a built-in profit margin for the bookmaker or casino accepting bets according to them. A professional oddsmaker is often called a handicapper in American gambling parlance.

أُرجِحُهُ/أُرَجِّحُهُ - أقِيمُ العَدَلَ في السباق


Explanation:
Handicap:
(1) سِباقً العَدَل: سباقُ يُتَساهَلُ فيه مع العنصر الضعيف ويُفرَضُ على العنصر القوي عبءٌ إضافيٌّ بحيث تصبح فرص الكسب متكافئة.
(2) يُقيمُ العَدَل أو التكافؤ في سباق.
Handicapper: المُرَجِّح: مَن يتنبأ بسباقات الخيل
Source: Al-Mawrid Al-Hadeeth, page 523.

أَرْجَحَ: (فعل)

أرجحَ يُرجح ، إرجاحًا ، فهو مُرجِح ، والمفعول مُرجَح
أرجح أحدَ الرَّأيين : فضّله ومال إليه
أَرْجَحَ كَفَّةَ المِيزَانِ : أّثْقَلَهَا حَتَّى مَالَتْ
أَرْجَحَ صَاحِبَهُ وَلَهُ : أَعْطَاهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ

https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/أرجَحَ/

رَجَّحَ: (فعل)

رجَّحَ يُرجِّح ، ترجيحًا ، فهو مُرجِّح ، والمفعول مُرجَّح
رجَّح كفَّةَ الميزان : جعلها تثقُل
رجَّح أحدَ الرَّأيين على الآخر : فضّله عليه وقوّاه ومال إليه
رَجَّحَهُ : أَرجَحَهُ ، وفضَّلَهُ ، وقَوَّاهُ

https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/رَجَّحَ/

عَدَلَ الأَمْتِعَةَ : جَعَلَهَا أَعْدَالاً مُتَسَاوِيَةً لِتُحْمَلَ
