Teddy kgb Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Have you ever dissected an NFL blowout post game and found things that had you shaking your head and asking yourself how you missed the writing on the wall? Let's get a check off list off factors that contribute to an NFL blowout and see if we can imply it weekly to see if 'X' amount off the list, produces easy winners? Travel?O-line v D-lineSize of CB vs receiver Injury to key players who don't play glamour positionsCold/warm weather teams out of elementWind/rain in forecast Let's get 20-25 and try to track all year and see how many blowouts we spot pre-game...

HarryCaray Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Short restWest coast traveling EastTurnover margin (differential between teams)Non-division games (divisional games seem to stay closer, no data to back that up) Strength on weakness is hard to quantify, but you could look at like:High yards per pass attempt offense vs bad yards per pass attempt defenseHigh yards per rush vs bad yards per rush defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Non-division games (divisional games seem to stay closer, no data to back that up) That has to be where most blowouts come from but it can't be played blind I'm sure......what factors would make it stronger then the others? I'm sure some coaches approach these games with a 'who cares' if we lose mentality....just have to figure out why and when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team that wins the TO battle usually wins. A team that dominates it usually wins in a blowout. Unfortunately, it's so often a random thing, it's hard to handicap, other than knowing guys like Rodgers and Brady are always near the bottom in turning it over.

easy does it Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Belicheck against rookie qb's......Turnover battle is big.........NY Jets this year against anyone, take the team jets are playing.....I swear bellichek always covers against rookies. I remember time and time again laying double digits with him regardless of the situation and it feels like he covers everytime against rookies. He always confuses them with different schemes and gets them to turn the ball over a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
