- Even though there certainly was the potential for a downer week scoring, the NFL still averaged 47.4 PPG for the week.
- Meaning, for the year, the 176 games played have scored 8,512 points, for an average of 48.364
- Versus the total scoring record, average 46.707, they are now 292 points ahead.
- Versus the all-time average points per game record of 47.2 (again, many many years ago -- the NFL, as one thing, only had ten teams!), they are now 205 points ahead.
- Home teams went 10-5 this week, for 105-66-2 total (.613)
- The Over went 7-8 this week, now also one game under .500 for the year.
- Vegas gave some back to the bettors this week: Favorites went 9-5 against the number (Cleveland and Cincinnati kicked a Pick) for 79-90-6 for the year.
- 11-3 straight up for the favorites: 113-60 for the year.
- Team with more penalties was 8-6, 72-77 for the year.
- 3 Cliffhangers for 35 total (19.9%)
- 8 games finished within 8 points for 93 total (52.8%)
- 5 non-competitive games this week for 61 total (34.7%)
- 4 Last Chance Miss games for 47 total.
And now, the Storylines Report:
AFC:
- Kansas City 9-2 outright
- New England 8-3 (tiebreaker over Houston because of HTH, would have the tiebreaker over KC for the same reason if it applies)
- Houston 8-3
- Pittsburgh 7-3-1
- LA Chargers 8-3
- Baltimore 6-5 (tiebreaker over Indianapolis, 6-3 in conference vs. 5-4)
Careful, though, they may be mini-pushing Andrew Luck here -- 5 wins in a row.
NFC:
- New Orleans 10-1 (tiebreaker over the Rams because of HTH)
- LA Rams 10-1
- Chicago 8-3
- Dallas 6-5 (tiebreaker over Washington, for the moment, because they've won and played one more division game (3-1 vs. 2-1) after the HTH split)
- Minnesota 6-4-1
- Washington 6-5 (wins tiebreakers with both Carolina and Seattle due to conference record)
Frankly, we're down to five teams, I think. The two LA teams, New England, Kansas City, and New Orleans.
Everyone else can go home.
