Score Update for Week 13, as we start Week 14

This is officially post 1,001, but it's being dropped below post 1,000.

Never got to the score update this week.  Blame a crazy week.
  • Per-game for Week 13:  48 points per game, even.
  • Per-game for the 192 games so far:  46.036, about two-thirds of a point lower than last year's final.
  • Of the sixteen games this week, only SEVEN were competitive into the fourth quarter!
  • Three were decided in the last two minutes:  Jacksonville's second, San Diego staying alive, and the Monday nighter with Miami subduing the Jets.
  • 34 such games this season, an average of about 17.71%.
  • Three other games were decided within a score, but only one further game got within a score at some point in the fourth quarter.
  • Games within a score at the end are at 41.67%, down from 48% last year.
  • Games within a score at some point in the fourth are at 61.46%, down from 68% last year.
  • Over was 9-7 for the week, 96-93-1 for the year.  Vegas is the only winner here.
  • Home teams were 9-7 after a slow start.  115-72-1 for the year.
  • Home teams were called for more penalties in 7 of the games, with several more tied.  83/192
  • 225 penalties in the 16 games, about 14 a game.  That's another about half a penalty more a game than last week.
  • Teams with more penalties were 5-6-5.  86-88-17 for the year.
  • PoE:  Team with more PoE passing situation penalties was 6-8-2 for the week, 65-77-59 for the year.
Some interesting penalty numbers:
  • Could Seattle's push be due to the return of the LoB?  Fourteen penalties accepted against the Hags versus San Francisco, SF only had 3!  Seattle won the showdown 19-3, even though they had SIX Points of Emphasis fouls accepted.   (Season high is 7, by the Giants in a Week 2 loss to Arizona!)
  • They weren't alone with 6 PoE penalties:  Baltimore had six in the home loss to San Diego.
  • Both Seattle and Baltimore had 14 penalties accepted against them apiece.  Three of the early games had over 20 penalties.  The showdown in Green Bay only had eight.
  • Season high for a team in a game is 16.  (San Francisco, Week 2 Sunday night vs. Chicago, loss)
  • That game also had the most penalties for both teams this year, 26.  Cincinnati-Tampa had 23 this week.
