Here are the stat from this week of football.
Out of 119 games...
Winning teams scored an average of 59 points. Losing teams scored an average of 23 points. Both of those numbers are season highs. Of course a couple of 175+ score games will do that. This gives us an average point differential of 36 points.
65 (54.62%) of those games ended in a mercy rule and 15 (12.61%) were close games, or games won by less than 10 points.
22 (18.49%) games also ended in a shutout.
