Everything About NFL Teams
In a league that prides itself on parity and making things as fair as possible, whether through its draft order or yearly scheduling practices, studying team statistics can go a long way in helping give bettors a glimpse into what might happen on any given Sunday.
It’s a good idea first to consider how a team’s offense or defense performs on average. The sums of week-to-week performances show what a team’s strengths and weaknesses are, so team rankings are a pretty good indication of how you can expect a crew to perform, especially as the season progresses.
The more a group plays, then it becomes easier to tell if an impressive performance is a fluke or the norm. The main offensive stat to keep an eye on is yards gained per game.
Unexpected Success and Its Potential to Confuse Trends
Sometimes, too, a team can buck a trend, pick up steam, and put together a string of showings that propel it to success, which can make things more confusing.
This is most noticeable as teams forge toward the postseason. Think of the Pittsburgh Steelers team that won Super Bowl XL or the Green Bay Packers squad that lifted the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLV as the best examples of this.
With whoever you’re focusing on, dive deeper and make sure to factor in the strength of some of their previous opponents.
If they have been lighting it up through the air, take a look at how the defenses they’ve recently gone up against rank. If those teams have done poorly against the pass, odds are that the team you’re looking at was a beneficiary of that.
With the defense, look specifically at how it does against the run and the pass. Defensive units typically travel well, so take into account the yardage that a unit gives up per game and whether they can keep the offense opposite them at bay.
