- 38.625 PPG for the week. That's the lowest this year by four full points.
- Lowest per-week since Week 16 last year (37.75).
- The last three weeks in total, 48 games, have had only 1,999 points.
- Through 12 weeks, the average points per game for the season was 48.364.
- The last three weeks have averaged just 41.667.
- Total average for the year now: 46.924 -- the first time all year the all-time per-game average of 47.2 now holds. And the 46.707 modern-era record now has only a slim 37 points now on it.
- Home teams went 9-7 this week for 133-84-2 for the year. (.607)
- The Over was 5-9-2 for the week (both the Sunday nighter and Cincinnati-Raiders pushed) for 103-116-5 for the year. If you bet $100 on every NFL game to go over this year, you'd be $2,236.36 in the hole.
- Of course, you could be worse. You could've done the same with Vegas favorites, who went 6-9-1 against the spread and 10-6 SU.
- That's 99-117-3 against the number. Same $100 on every Vegas favorite? You're now down $2,700.
- Straight up for the season: 141-80.
- Team with more penalties was 4-12 this week. Now 88-104 for the year.
- For the same three weeks the scoring has cratered, the team with more penalties is 8-7, 4-8, and 4-12 -- 16-27 overall.
- As of the end of Week 12, 2282 penalties had been called in 176 games. (12.966 per)
- The last three weeks, in 48 games, 733 penalties had been called. (15.271)
- Season average is now 13.46 penalties per game.
- Three Cliffhangers, totaling 47 for the year.
- Eleven games finished within one score, total of 121. (54%)
- Three non-competitive games for 71 total. (31.7%, meaning 68.3% of all games are within 8 points at some point in the fourth quarter.)
- Three Last Chance Misses for 58 total.
AFC:
Houston vaults to the #2 with New England's fifth loss of the year.
- Kansas City still is with 11-3 and only one loss in the AFC West. A win over the Seahawks next Sunday night seals the deal, because the Raiders are the Week 17 opponent.
- Houston 10-4 outright
- New England 9-5 outright
- Pittsburgh 8-5-1 outright
- LA Chargers 11-3, two losses in the AFC West. Probably need two wins and a KC loss for the #1, but only the Chargers and Chiefs are guaranteed playoff spots.
- Again complicated, but it's still Baltimore at 8-6.
NFC:
- New Orleans 12-2, magic number for the #1 is one.
- LA Rams 11-3 outright
- Chicago 10-4 outright
- Dallas 8-6 outright
- Seattle 8-6 outright
- Minnesota 7-6-1 outright
Two 7-7s and a 6-8.
