Week 11 of the 2012 season is behind us and so too now are all of the bye weeks as well. Below are the ANYPPAD (Adjusted Net Yards Per Passing Attempt Differential) stats year to date. This stat is great for tracking teams success over the season and is a great measuring stick to show which teams might be headed for the post season and which teams might be staying at home as it is based around the passing offense and passing defense of all 32 teams.
If you want to get a better understanding of the stat, read here and here is the final regular season ANYPPAD stats from last year.
The Pittsburgh Steelers differential slipped this week thanks to their passing game. The defense is playing lights out right now and it needs to continue to be at this level or even better as long as Ben Roethlisberger is sidelined. I expect the offensive ANY/A number to continue to slip until he returns.
The Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans are still in the Wild Card race despite their bad differential. It will likely catch up with them. The Cincinatti Bengals are slowly rounding into form and are a very dangerous team right now. Could we see three teams from the AFC North in the playoffs?
The Chicago Bears are going in the wrong direction as their defense has not been playing at the same level recently. The bad play of their offense is finally catching up with them. They miss Jay Cutler nonetheless.
The Denver Broncos are a team on a mission that is playing great on both sides of the football right now. Even without Willis McGahee they should be fine.
