And the Week 13 score report...

Really began to look like a massive rewrite was in the works after most of the early games.

Except for the overtime game between the Bears and Giants, there was no game even in the 50's for the early games, and one game was 6-0.

So that led to...

• Lowest PPG for the year by about a field goal:  42.75
• That drops the season PPG to 47.896
• For 192 games, the modern record average of 46.707 is still being led by 224 points.
• The all time points per game record of 47.2 is still being led by 134 points.
• Home teams were 10-6 for 115-72-2 (.614)
• The over, after losing the first 9, went 5-2 the rest of the games for 5-11 for the week and 91-98-3 for the year.
• Favorites had another losing week on the number and almost did straight up:  7-9 ATS and 9-7 straight up.  For the year, 86-99-3 against the number, 122-67 straight up.
• Team with more penalties was 8-7 this week, 87-84 for the year.
• Most flags of the year:  260.   16 1/4 a game.
• Four cliffhangers for 39 total.
• Three non-competitive games for 64 total.
• Five Last Chance misses for 52 total.
• Nine finished within one score for 101 total.
