The Los Angeles Rams are 4-2 and rank in ninth in DVOA over at FootballOutsiders, a fairly familiar spot because they were 12th last season. What is DVOA? It’s been thrown around quite often over the last few years especially but it’s probably too soon to assume it is common knowledge.
Per FO: DVOA breaks down the entire season play-by-play, comparing success on each play to the league average based on a number of variables including down, distance, location on field, current score gap, quarter, and opponent quality.
That’s not enough to completely understand DVOA (I surely do not) and I don’t want to overrate that number like so many other “advanced” stats have become overrated.
