Sportsbooks have analyzed many years of statistics of NFL football and have

seen some re-occurrences that winning NFL football teams have in common. There is

an old misconception among fans that a great defense is needed to win at NFL

football. The problem with that philosophy is that your highly talented

defensive teams would be worn out due to being on the field too long. Also, a

few key injuries to a few skilled players can mean the difference between last

and first.

On the offensive side, there are many football fans that do

not draw the distinction between what is a great offense and what is a high

powered one. Great offenses are ones that consistently get the 15-25 play

eight-minute scoring drive and can also beat you with a 50-yard bomb.

Great offenses keep the other teams defenses off the field time wise. One of

the great offenses of modern day is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Their offense

played ball control and gained an average of 5.6 yards per carry. The top four

leading rushers on their team gained over 5 yards per carry. The reason why

their defense was so successful was because they didn’t have to spend much

time on the field because their offense was out there most of the game. A more

accurate formula for measuring a successful offense would be to take into

account points per possession and average length of each possession instead of

the usual statistics showing average points per game and time of possession.

As it turns out, the best defense is a great offense that

uses ball control. Long drives that scores points are the best defense because

it’s a lot easier to play defense with a big lead when the other team’s

options are limited. You can get great defensive stats when you have a great

ball control offense.

The most important thing for the great defensive stat is that the offense has

to stay healthy. When a key offensive player gets hurt most people falsely think

that the game is going to be lower scoring. Most teams have to compensate for

this loss and have to open it more. The same is true on defense. If a key

defensive middle linebacker gets hurt, it often means the other team will run

more. It could mean that the other team will have more success on offense with

ball control, have fewer possessions and score fewer points.
