Goode's Winning Index

If you want to predict divisional leaders, our new featured stat, Goode's Wining Index, does the best job. Divisional winners, by definition, always make the playoffs. And once in the playoffs, any team can reach the Super Bowl.

The graphs below show the close relationship between Goode's Winning Index and winning margin.

Example:
In the first week (chart above), Buffalo Bills earned 4.0 on the Index and won by 34. Conversely, the weakest team was the Chiefs at -4.0.

Teams in the upper right corner are big winners on both stats. The picture shows that as a team improves from zero to 1 or more on the Index the winning margin explodes.

With a knowledge of this one stat you can predict winning margin and games won.

It will take 3 or 4 weeks before this picture settles down and the league's playoff teams will be set in concrete.
