The Football ERA Algorithm

The Football Earned Run Average is real football analysis of pro football statistics, scores, and handicapping. The formula has been developed over a dozen or so years of crunching numbers while fine-tuning & tweaking a statistical analysis of games and team performances. This special algorithm measures a teams performance at the LINE OF SCRIMMAGE (as best can be done in conjunction with film analysis) with a statistical analysis of a team's performance. It measures a team's offensive line and defensive front's effect on overall team performance by analyzing its Rushing and Ball Control performance as well as the amount and effect of Defensive pressure (sacks, hurries, pass defense...) on the results of the game.
