TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 DVOA is expected outcome vs the NFL average? Right? Technically couldn’t a high DVOA also mean the average play of football around the NFL is bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 the point of communication is to… communicate.

DVOA: Defensive Victory and Offensive Acumen??? Difference of victory opponents average??? Digital Visual Occurrences Amen!?!?!? It wasn't just invented. It's older than QBR, and nobody explains what QBR is, either. Others have given you an explanation, and if you follow the link, you can learn more. Warning: it's complicated. Essentially what they do is compare every teams at every position against every other team at every position, including comparisons for down and distance, and try to figure out which teams are best. Who passes best, second best, etc. Who's best on third and short and who isn't. At this time of year, they're still using a lot of last season's data, so the numbers aren't great. But once we get to November, it's all current season data, and it really seems to be pretty accurate. In other words, the best teams come out on top of the rankings. There are rankings for offense, defense, special teams, oline, dline, passing, running. Having the sixth best DVOA since they started doing this is pretty heady stuff. Bills have been near the top of the DVOA lists for the past few years. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
