Score Update -- Defense Takes Over Week 15

Sorry for the delay -- got a Christmas present I'm trying out.
  • I think I'm getting the impression that Green Bay can pack their bags and go home for the season.  The defenses are taking over.  It took two large scores in the Sunday and Monday prime time games just to get the week average to 36.4375 -- it was about 33.7 before then.  Wish I had the old chart with my other computer, so I can know how far back I have to go to get a lesser score.
  • We're not breaking the record this year.  Per game average for 15 weeks:  45.406
  • Eleven of the sixteen games were competitive into the fourth quarter...
  • ... but for the third time this season, NONE were actually decided by a score in the final two minutes or overtime.
  • So the 36 such games this year now represent only 16.07% of the total.
  • 62.05% of the games this season are within one score at some point in the fourth quarter.  
  • There were eight games decided by a score at the end (half the schedule), 41.51% for the year.
  • All three figures are down from last year -- the last two were 68% and 48% last year, respectively.
  • Thirteen of the sixteen games went under the number this week.  Over is 105-116-1.
  • After a great first session, home teams were only 9-7 for the week.  130-89-1 for the year.
  • Home team was called for more penalties in 9 of the 16 games -- 99 this year.
  • About a penalty more per game this week than last.
  • Team with more penalties was 7-7-2 this week.  103-101-19 for the year.
  • Team with more PoE fouls was 5-6-5.  76-90-67
  • Hence, it appears that there is more a correlation of teams getting fouls accepted against them for passing situations than for penalties at large to determine who wins and loses...
