By Ruthie Calderon


Winning while betting or in fantasy football depends on the accuracy of your judgment of the actual league. NFL offensive rankings will assist you identify how one team will perform against the other. Their attacking tendencies combine with their ability to defend to give an indication of their chances depending on their opposition for the day.

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.

Yard Per Play is an indication of the portion that each team claims in a game. Top ranked teams have a higher yard per play rating than low scorers. The factors that affect yard per play include first downs, number of points and number of wins. Teams that struggle with first downs have a poor winning record.

As much as First Down ratings are important, they are likely to mislead you. They are not a true indication of possession and do not determine the number of wins. A perfect example is the 2012 season where the Cardinals posted a 3-0 score at the beginning yet were ranked position twenty seven. However, you only ignore First Downs at your own risk. To correctly judge the potential of your target team, combine the First Downs with Rush Attempts.

A poor run defense at a particular time does not mean that it is time to write-off the team.

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 indicates the number of times a team remained with the ball. For a team to score and win, it must retain the ball for the longest time possible. A longer period also indicates strength. In some cases, the other team may be better in defense and holding the ball. This is likely to offset an offensive team. A combination of both traits is desired.

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.
