In the NFL last season there were 256 Regular Season games played. Fifty-Seven of those were decided by 20 or more points, or about 22.3%.
The NFL Blowout Formula had 34 plays last Season. Ten of them were decided by 20 or more points, or about 29.4%.
Of the 222 games that were not Blowout Formula Games, 47 of them were decided by 20 or more points, or about 21.2%.
What does it mean? That means that the NFL Blowout Formula Games beat out the other games by 8.2 percentage points. In real time, that means the Blowout Formula picks blowout games a whopping 38.7% more often (8.2 divided by 21.2).
That's nearly 40% more often and VERY significant. If it merely picked more blowouts 10-15% of the time, that could be considered variation. It tells me that the formula works.
Even more significant is the fact that nine out of 10 of the blowout games scored 30>; nine out of 10 also allowed 14 or less. Now, I did not subdivide all the games played last year; but I can tell you that many of the 20-point wins came on the strength of a huge offensive explosion like the Colts 55-20 over the Saints.
Or many of them came due to a defensive shut out win like 21-0 or something like that. Now don't get me wrong, a 20-point win is a 20-point win. But if you were to compare apples to apples, the results would be even more staggering.
What I am saying is that the Blowout Formula blowouts are complete domination--not just a 20-point win on one side of the ball or the other. Here's a listing of those games...
*BROWNS (-6) over Cardinals WIN 44-6
*BRONCOS (-8) over Chargers WIN 37-8
*SEAHAWKS (-10') over Lions WIN 35-14
*BEARS (-4) over Cardinals WIN 28-3
*VIKINGS (-1) over Seahawks WIN 34-7
*COLTS (-7') over Falcons WIN 38-7
*CHIEFS (-14') over Lions WIN 45-17
*SAINTS (-7) over Giants WIN 45-7
*PACKERS (-9) over Broncos WIN 31-3
*TITANS (-6') over Bucs WIN 33-13
That is domination. These teams outyarded their opponents by an average of 201 yards per game: 432-231. The turnovers went in their favor 29-9. Wow. I'm sold on my latest formula. It is BY FAR the best I have developed in my 24-year career. Nearly 30% of its games are bonafide BLOWOUTS. Contrast that with the otherwise league average of 21%. Here's somemore analysis...
It's a busy time of year for me, and it's that time of year when I'm very active in developement, promotion, and gearing up for the upcoming season. Chances are, if you've been at the forum more than 2 or 3 days, you've read about my newest NFL Formula: The NFL Blowout Formula.
In the midst of all the other stuff I have going on, I've taken the time to further look into this formula. First I'll list the plays, then I'll do a brief critical analysis. Note that of the 28-5-1 ATS record, the games where the line is +/- 6> are 18-0-0 ATS.
You'll notice that the 6> point faves pull out some pretty mind-boggling blowout results, while the 6> point dogs win outright most of the time.
The numbers to the right of the games are a breakdown of the Net Yardage Results and the Turnover Battle results. "CB" means "Cover By". The games with asteriks*** are of the highest criteria met.

Out of 34 games, the TURNOVERS went in our team's favor 22 times and against us only 4 times--the other 8 times being equal. In fact, our teams (both winners and losers) had 75 turnovers go in their favor versus only 40 against them. Hey that's pretty strong in the NFL. Let that sink in.
Our team outyarded our opponent 19 times while being outyarded 15 times. In a bit of irony, even when our team was severly outyarded, somehow they managed a cover. That's a mystery to me.
When teams lose the yardage battle and/or the turnover battle, they typically will lose ATS a high percentage of the time. Yet, when confronted with the Blowout Formula, something seems to click with these teams.
Sometimes they outyarded their opponent by a huge margin; sometimes they dominated the turnover battle; and when they didn't do either one or both of those, they apparently showed up in the Red Zone. Simply put, they made it happen.
To give you an idea, in the 15 games in which our team was outyarded, they were 11-3-1 ATS. That just doesn't stack up against the norms. Something is clicking with these teams when it matters the most if the Blowout Formula is in effect. That's 11-3-1 ATS even when outyarded. It says a lot about the backbone of the Formula.
I've said it before and will say it again: I believe this to be the best developement of my 24-year handicapping career. Consider the LIONS-Rams Game. Detriot was an 11-point dog. They outyarded the Rams 342-194 and won the turnover battle 3-2 in rout to...well...a ROUT--a 30-20 SU Winner!
In contrast, consider the TEXANS play vs the Patriots. Although they had a slight advantage in the turnover department (3-2), they got steam-rolled by the Pats 472-169 in the Yardage category. How the heck did this team cover? Especially against a team that went on an [otherwise] 15-game ATS WIN streak--interupted by one ATS loser versus...the TEXANS??? These Blowout Formula teams seem to take it up a notch either in yardage, turnovers, and/or red zone play.
Up to this point I've centered around the anamoly of how our teams are covering even when outyarded and/or having no significant advantage in the turnover department. But the reality is that this paradox is the exception and not the rule.
The rule of the day is that these teams OUTYARD their opponents, WIN the Turnover battles, and/or DOMINATE the Red Zone more often than not--and that's what the BLOWOUT FORMULA is all about : Focus and Execution. And that adds up to a whole lotta' pointspread WINNERS.
A look at the games with asteriks*** (highest criteria met) reveal the following:
*9-0 Straight Up and Against the Spread (Faves 6-0 SU & ATS: Dogs 3-0 SU & ATS)
*Teams Averaged WINNING by 20.6 Points Per Game (Faves by 27.2 ppg; Dogs by 7.3 ppg)
*Teams Averaged COVERING THE SPREAD by 18.0 Points Per Game (Faves by 19.5 ppg; Dogs by 15.0 ppg)
*ALL Nine Plays COVERED by DOUBLE-DIGITS
*TURNOVERS went in Teams favor 25-8; or 2.8 - 0.9 per game
*Teams OUTYARDED opponents by Average of 371-248 (Faves 411-226; Dogs 291-293)
And finally, out of a total of 34 plays, only three would have lost on a 6-point teaser.

Tuesday AUG 10: RED SOX
The NFL Blowout Formula had 34 plays last Season. Ten of them were decided by 20 or more points, or about 29.4%.
Of the 222 games that were not Blowout Formula Games, 47 of them were decided by 20 or more points, or about 21.2%.
What does it mean? That means that the NFL Blowout Formula Games beat out the other games by 8.2 percentage points. In real time, that means the Blowout Formula picks blowout games a whopping 38.7% more often (8.2 divided by 21.2).
That's nearly 40% more often and VERY significant. If it merely picked more blowouts 10-15% of the time, that could be considered variation. It tells me that the formula works.
Even more significant is the fact that nine out of 10 of the blowout games scored 30>; nine out of 10 also allowed 14 or less. Now, I did not subdivide all the games played last year; but I can tell you that many of the 20-point wins came on the strength of a huge offensive explosion like the Colts 55-20 over the Saints.
Or many of them came due to a defensive shut out win like 21-0 or something like that. Now don't get me wrong, a 20-point win is a 20-point win. But if you were to compare apples to apples, the results would be even more staggering.

*BROWNS (-6) over Cardinals WIN 44-6

*SAINTS (-7) over Giants WIN 45-7
*PACKERS (-9) over Broncos WIN 31-3
*TITANS (-6') over Bucs WIN 33-13
That is domination. These teams outyarded their opponents by an average of 201 yards per game: 432-231. The turnovers went in their favor 29-9. Wow. I'm sold on my latest formula.
