brophog Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'll bet we led the nation last year in Opp Points per OUR play. (Since we were the pick-six champs. ) 2 Quote Link to comment

bleedNUred Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Interesting. Thanks for posting, always fun to do a deeper dive into stats since most are things you have to dig deeper on or the whole story isn't told on the surface I guess you could say. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I got two stats that when compared to each other will always determine the outcome of a game and are therefore the best stats to determine win-loss records: (1) your team score vs (2) opponent team score. Quote Link to comment
