    I started using them as a comparison only or additional resource for capping, but dunno if theyre valid stat on week 2 maybe when there are 4 games for each it would come in as a better predicting stat, also i use two different methods with yppt and i think they are more effective if you factor other info with them, like TO,injuries,etc.

    yards per point sucks

    yards per play is where it is at if you adjust for a handful of things

    I second that emotion, but with the following:

    All knowable information about a match-up is already factored into the line.

    I love using it early in the season for Totals. My biggest play this week utilized the YPPT of the Bucs. Check where they are now. Finished last year 25th I think it was.

    33?

    Over

    anyway, very useful tool

    You can get the info from statfox for free,just click extended matchup and there will be a table with both teams stats yppt is there....Will be allot of work until you are able to build an excel sheet to do the calculations for you...

    hrm... if I ever try to use yppt in a model, it is completely overwhelmed by ypp. The opposite is not true. have to think about this more.
