We are averaging a full score less than the league average and 1 single game above the league average and 2 at the league average. We have a total of 2 games all season where an opponent scored more than their season average against us. 2. Total. Games. And the numbers would be increasingly in our favor if I did the legwork to remove out the score of our game but I’m not gonna do that.
