An offensive number below 14 is a solid offense. So just so we are clear a team with an offensive yards per point number of 13.7, scores 1 point every 13.7 yards they gain. Or just find a site that does the math for you, I use Stat Fox (), it’s not the best site by any means but it’s just what I’ve always used, you can just google “NFL Yards Per Point” and find many different sites that show YPPT - Yards Per Point On defense, take the yards given up and divide by points given up. Simply take a team's offensive yards gained and divide by points scored. The Yards Per Point stat is very easy to calculate.

It also tells you how many yards it takes to score 1 point on a team's defense, The yards per point stat basically shows you how far a team must travel to score 1 point. It’s a stat I use and weigh heavily and I’m sure many others do as well. It’s a stat that can tell you a lot about any given team because it’s used for both offense and defense. (YPPT) Yards Per Point is one of the most powerful stats in handicapping football.

This lesson will be on how to create a base power rating for NFL teams Power ratings are when you assign a value to each team, power rankings are when you rank a team 1-32 or top 10 or whatever. It’s a very simple starting point to create your own power ratings but remember, Power ratings are different from power rankings. I’ll be using the Thursday Night game () as an example. Well I’m going to do a quick and easy to understand lesson on how to create your own power rating number for each team and matchup. Most of the members here at The Betting Network have heard me say “my number on this game” or “my power rating number”.
