2019 NFL Crown The Patriots Week One Score Report


  • 48.5 points a game this week, up from 47.8125 last year Week 1.
  • And that's with three of the five lowest scoring games of the week being on national primetime television.
  • Home team did eke out a winning week at 8-7-1, but needed 6-1-1 late games on forward to get it done.  (Last year:  Also 8-7-1)
  • Over was 9-7, also the same as last year.
  • 6-9-1 against the spread (7-8-1 last year), 10-5-1 straight up (same as last year)
  • Biggest news of the week:  Team with more penalties only won 4 games this week and lost nine.  (Last year:  6-6)
  • Last year had 255 penalties in Week 1.  This year?  250.
  • Three Cliffhangers this year (A Cliffhanger is a game in which a tying or lead-changing score happens within 2:00 to go in regulation -- overtime counts.  A tie with no scoring at that point is NOT a Cliffhanger.  A game can have multiple Cliffhangers -- the tie in Arizona had 3.)  (Last year:  1)
  • 9 games finished within a score (Last year:  10)
  • 6 non-competitive games (not within one score at any point in the fourth quarter).  (Last year:  4)
  • 3 Last Chance Misses (a reasonable chance that a team behind can win or tie a game that fails in the final 2:00.  Onside kick situation fails count automatically, but if you have the ball, you must have at least field position to tie or lead/win the game).  (Last Year had 6 of them in Week 1.)
