This metric system has produced the two teams in the Superbowl or at least had them in the top 6 teams.
2014 TOP 2 in DVOA: SEA & DEN
2015 TOP 2 in DVOA: SEA & CIN (NE was 6)
2016 TOP 2 in DVOA: NE & DAL (ATL was 3)
2017 TOP 2 in DVOA: NO & LAR (PIT is 3 / NE is 6)
This year the AFC has a statistical advantage. This advantage though is massive. The AFC only has two teams in the top 6 of DVOA, where the NFC has 4

So what does DVOA stand for? It's not mentioned in the link either.

quote:
DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) calculates a team's success based on the down-and-distance of each play during the season, then calculates how much more or less successful each team is compared to the league average. According to Football Outsiders, DVOA "breaks down every single play of the NFL season to see how much success offensive players achieved in each specific situation compared to the league average in that situation, adjusted for the strength of the opponent. ... Football has one objective -- to get to the end zone -- and two ways to achieve that, by gaining yards and getting first downs. These two goals need to be balanced to determine a player's value or a team's performance."[3] There is a separate DVOA measurement for special teams, which "compare[s] each kick or punt to the league average for based on the point value of field position at the position of each kick, catch, and return.

So You're saying it's going to be Pit/NE vs Rams/Vikings/Saints/Eagles in the Superbowl? That's nuts!

Clearly, you can see the last four years the number one DVOA team made the Superbowl...

Saints vs Rams for NFC

I am starting to think that might be the NFCCG. Or RAMS/MIN.
Since 2011, the number one DVOA team made the Superbowl. Just checked on that.
NE in 2010 did not make it.

Well if LAR and NO both win this weekend you’re looking at either NO @ MIN or NO @ LAR because I don’t see the eagles as a serious threat. I could see Atlanta winning which would make things really wild.

Same here.
Their D is ALOT better but their offense is even more inconsistent than the Saints and the Panthers offense. And the Rams D is no joke. I think the Rams win 31-21
