Understanding NFL Offensive Rankings And Stats

By Ruthie Calderon


Wins during fantasy football and betting depend on how accurately you judge the actual league. NFL offensive rankings are an easy way of predicting whether a team is strong enough to win or not. An attacking team increases the chances of winning though their performance will be determined by the ability of their opponents to defend.

How teams rank depends on their score. Teams that score higher in a game will obviously rank higher than those that fail to score. However, their progress is likely to be hampered by a weak defense. There must be a good balance between scoring and conceding. Allowing your opponents to score means that you will lose points which affects your ranking.

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 is the total number of minutes a team held the ball. Winners have been known to remain with the ball longer than losers. This is an indication of strength and winning potential. If your opponent is a good defender, you are likely to hold the ball yet not score. In order to win, you need the best combination of both qualities. The offensive strategy can only be employed when you are ahead and time is running out.

Turnovers will make an average team great and an excellent team out of a good one. It indicates the number of offenses and how these offenses are used to their advantage. This may reflect strategy and individual skills by the players. Penalties aid in ranking teams based on which team takes the most penalties and whether these penalties are broken by the opponents or not. The factors will assist you in determining the team that is likely to win you more cash when betting.
