ANY/A Stats: Using Historical Data To Predict Most Likely Super Bowl Winners

Week 8 of the NFL season is in the books, and I wanted to provide some data in anticipation to the playoffs and predictive success. With that in mind, here’s a visual of the ANY/A data point that will be used for offense (OANY/A) and defense (DANY/A) from Pro Football Reference:

  • Adjusted Net Yards per Pass Attempt (ANY/A): Passing Yards – Sack Yards + (20 * Passing TD) – (45 * Interceptions)) / (Passes Attempted + Times Sacked)

The teams on the top right are the current front runners to win the Super Bowl, and we can see from the visual how close (or far) teams Super Bowl hopes sit currently.
