2020 NFL Week 5 Score Report

 And now with it finally in the books...

  • Through the first 8 games of the week, scoring actually looked to normalize a bit -- to that point, the average for the week was 46.38
  • And then:  60, 55, 71, 53, 57, 58 -- and the Tuesday nighter would've had more if Buffalo had some concept of the clock!
  • So the average for the week broke 50 for the fourth consecutive week:  51.79
  • For a 51.403 average for the week.  In 77 games, 3958 points are scored.
  • That means, over the average for the record season two years ago of 46.727 (meaning the current season is now almost 4.7 points a game over the full season record) and total of 11,962 points -- a season with this average (and assuming 256 games get played!!) totals 13,159, a full 1,197 points above the record.  That record would get broken in the early afternoon games...  of WEEK SIXTEEN.
  • And the all-time average of 47.2 is being beaten by 1,076, would be broken late afternoon of Week 16.
  • Home teams were 9-5 for 40-36-1.
  • Home teams with fans:  Pittsburgh won, KC lost (!), Houston won, Atlanta lost, Dallas, Cleveland, and Tennessee all won -- 5-2 for the week, 16-8 for the year.  Meaning fanless games are now 24-28-1 for the home team.
  • Over was 9-5, including the last five games finished.  44-33-1 for the year.
  • Favorites were 6-8 against the spread, 9-5 straight up for the week.  For the year:  36-39-1 ATS, 51-24-1 SU.
  • Team with more penalties was 5-8 for the week, 29-38-1 for the year.
  • 164 penalties for the week (11.7 per game), 885 for the year (11.5).  Last year's first 77 games had 1,172 penalties.  So penalties are down almost a quarter year over year.
  • 4 Cliffhangers this week, including the main Sunday national game (Cowboys-Giants), the Sunday nighter, and the Monday nighter.  15 for the year.
  • Only six of the 14 games this week were within one score.  That means, now, 39 out of the 77 played games finished 8 points margin or within.
  • 5 non-competitive games this week for 23 overall.
  • 2 Last Chance Misses for 25 overall.
