There are just three weeks left of the NFL regular season as teams vy for a spot in the postseason. Some times are just trying to make it in a wildcard berth while others are trying to clinch their division and maybe even a first round BYE.
If you're trying to figure out which teams are for real and which teams likely don't have a shot to make a run at the Super Bowl, the stat called "Net Yards per Play" is a good place to start.
What is Net Yards per Play?
Net Yards per Play is the figure you're left with when you take the average yards gained per play on offense and then subtract the average yards given up per play on defense.
