Winning Stats


Recommended Posts


Note:

 

 What correlates to wins in football is well known and the information readily available. For example, not surprising is the role of turnovers, but something that is a bit surprising are penalties.

 

More imprtantly, this is a really poor method. There are many reasons why, but a big one is it shows correlation, but implies causation. Rushing stats are a good example of this. Teams that rush for over 200 yards have an obscene win total, that doesn't mean every team should be rush heavy. It's an inverse correlation. Passing stats, in general, actually correlate better if you're looking for a causal factor.
