Over the past few years, the NFL has begun expanding its advanced data apparatus and has stated sharing significant troughs of statistics with the public. For example, earlier this year, Tom Bliss shared a new statistic that attempts to quantify each team’s luck called Net Win Probability Added (NWPA). Through Week 12, the 49ers rank as the ninth-luckiest team in the NFL, with an estimated 0.4 wins added to their record based on things out of the team’s control.
