What is DVOA? I always see it but idk what it represents
Defense adjusted Value Over Average

  • How it works
    DVOA analyzes every play during a season, assigning a value to each based on the down, distance, and other factors. It then compares each team's success to the league average to determine how much better or worse they are.


  • What it predicts
    DVOA can predict a team's final record, including their offensive and defensive ranks, special teams rank, and the average number of wins they'll get.


  • How to interpret
    A positive DVOA indicates that a team is performing better than average, while a negative DVOA suggests a defensive strength.


  • Who developed it
    Aaron Schatz developed and popularized DVOA, along with other football analytics statistics like DYAR.
Football Outsiders uses DVOA as a core part of their work.

well I thought the Spoiler would be funnier than that. I'm surprised it took this long to get this rumor out there. Of course the latest I've heard is Hopkins.

I'd give Raven nation my left testicle for Adams to be traded to us.


I am committed to this


Ban me please
