Method

  • Each number is a team’s games against what each opponent usually gave up in its other games, with half the home edge, averaged. A game against a team with no other game here sits out.
  • A place is among the teams with the sport’s floor of games, the best first: more on offense and less on defense, except where less is better on offense (turnovers, sacks taken, penalties) or more on defense (turnovers forced, sacks).
