Understanding NFL Offensive Rankings And Stats

By Ruthie Calderon


Winning while betting or in fantasy football depends on the accuracy of your judgment of the actual league. NFL offensive rankings will assist you identify how one team will perform against the other. Their attacking tendencies combine with their ability to defend to give an indication of their chances depending on their opposition for the day.

The ultimate measure of the strength of any team is its ability to score. To rank high, the team, must learn to score more goals. The only factor that can dilute the ratings of a high scorer is a weak defense. When compared to another high scoring team, their goal difference will be used to separate the two. It therefore calls for a high scoring team that is also good at defending.

Yards Per Pay are used to indicate how much space each team claimed during the game. The team that took the largest portion ranks higher compared to one that had a lower Yard Per Minute rating. The number of wins is likely to be affected by points scored and the number of first downs. Struggling with first downs is likely to affect your winning record.

A higher First Down does not always indicate wins or more possession. It should be noted that in 2012, the Cardinals were ranked position twenty seven but started with 3-0 first downs. They are however important in determining ranking and eventual strength of a team. They also combine with Rush Attempts to determine the position of a team.

Yards Per Rush earn betters and fantasy players more points. They are a perfect indication of quality play which is rewarded through ranking. Do not rush into conclusion about the Yards Per Rush. Some teams could turn the tables and post better results as the season grows older.

Passing Attempts have proven over time to be crucial in determining the strength of winning and losing teams. An offensive team makes more attempts compared to a defensive team. The Passing Yard also signifies strength and potential. An offender gives you a higher chance of winning compared to a defensive team. A combination of both qualities is better at all times.

Time of Possession indicates the number of times a team remained with the ball. For a team to score and win, it must retain the ball for the longest time possible. A longer period also indicates strength. In some cases, the other team may be better in defense and holding the ball. This is likely to offset an offensive team. A combination of both traits is desired.

Turnover makes a team great or lowers its ranking significantly. Offensive opponents take advantage of the mistakes of the other team and convert them into scores. It takes a better strategy and talented players to become masters of turnovers. Penalties have also turned good teams into excellent teams. It a team can break your penalties, it will stop you from advancing. The secret is to convert all opportunities that come your way. A combination of defensive and offensive strengths makes a winning team.
