What does for instance the -4 in this mean?
Indianapolis (-4) @ Buffalo

Indianapolis is favored by 4 points over Buffalo per the sim engine.

Favore? But it's a minus.

How/what does the sim engine messure to reach that conclusion?

It's not a sim engine thing. It's how sports betting works. The idea is if the favored team gave the other team a 4 point lead to begin the game, the favored team will still win.

The only thing the sim engine does is cap out at -14 because no one wants to be a -70 point underdog.
