Ravens News 11/1: Win shares, measuring-stick game and more

Baltimore Ravens: 10.3 wins (projected AFC North champions)

Current record: 5-2.

Projected playoff percentage: 61.9.

One thing I find useful to consider is win-share, in which I assign a value for each player, position group and side of the ball reflecting their production on each play. (That is, does the entity in question help the team earn a first down or score a touchdown on offense or prevent opponents from earning first downs or scoring touchdowns on defense?) The Ravens’ defense has averaged a higher win-share than their offense in eight of the past eight seasons .
