Anyway, here are the numbers:
- Week 3 average: 48.31 points per game. Season average for the first 48 games: 47.104
- Last year: Wk 3: 46.5 3 weeks: 44.6
- Second week in a row: Home teams were only 8-8. 26-22 for the year.
- Last year: Home teams 9-7 Wk 3, 30-18 total.
- First seven games on the list for the week went over, one ended in a middle (Minnesota-San Diego could've gone anywhere 44.5 to 45.5, and ended at 45), so the over went 10-5-1 for the week with the middle counted a draw. Season: 25-20-3 or 25-22-1
- Last year: Over was: 8-8/7-8-1 for Wk 3, total 22-26 or as low as 18-26-4.
- Favorites: After a bumpy early session that had favorites as low as 2-5-1, a large rush of big favorites winning huge got favorites to 8-6 with 2 pushes. Season: 23-22-3
- 229 penalties this week after the record from last week. Season average: 15.25 penalties per game.
- Last year: 217 for the week, 661 for the year (this year's total is 732).
- Teams with more penalties were 6-9-1 for the week. 17-25-6 for the year.
- Last year: 5-10-1, 21-25-2 for the year.
- NO Cliffhangers this week. Closest a game got was Tennessee failing a 2-point conversion to tie Indianapolis within the last 2 minutes, but no game of the 16-game schedule came down to a score within that period of time. So, of the 48 games played so far, only SIX (16.67%) have come down to such criteria, and four of those were last week.
- Last year: 2 Cliffhangers in Week 3, 8 over the first three weeks.
- Only 6 games this week were decided by one score ( < = 8 points). Only 3 others were within those 8 points at some point in the fourth quarter. SEVEN GAMES, including the entire late afternoon, Sunday night, and Monday night schedule sans one game, were noncompetitive.
- This means out of the 48 games, 23 (47.9%) have been decided by 8 points or less. This is up from only 18 (37.5%) last year.
- Two-thirds of the games this season were 8 points or within at some point in the fourth quarter (32/48). Last year: 29.
