A lot of pundits/websites etc. have created formulas to predict what teams are capable of winning the Super Bowl this year. One stat that I found pretty interesting (I think Mike Shanahan talked about it a couple of years ago) is that pretty much every recent Super Bowl winner has been in the top 10 in the league in points scored and points against. I looked at the last twenty years or so and it really is true, no team has been outside the top 10 in scoring defense and only a few have been outside the top 10 for points scored. I think scoring defense is probably the most important stat - the '06 Jets, Pats, Chargers, Ravens, and Bears
are in this years top 10.
The list (PS=Points scored PA=Points against)
85 Bears PS 2 PA 1
86 NYG PS 8 PA 2
87 Wash PS 5 PA 6
88 SF PS 7 PA 8
89 SF PS 1 PA 3
90 NYG PS 15 PA 1
91 Wash PS 1 PA 2
92 Dal PS 2 PA 5
93 Dal PS 2 PA 2
94 SF PS 1 PA 6
95 Dal PS 3 PA 3
96 GB PS 1 PA 1
97 Den PS 1 PA 7
98 Den PS 2 PA 8
99 StL PS 1 PA 4
00 Bal PS 14 PA 1
01 NE PS 6 PA 6
02 TB PS 18 PA 1
03 NE PS 12 PA 1
04 NE PS 4 PA 2
05 Pitt PS 9 PA 3
06 ??????????
