2014 NFL Week 5 Stats: Adjusted Net Yards Per Passing Attempt Differential

With Week 5 now in the books, here are your updated adjusted net yards per passing attempt differential stats (ANY/A) for all 32 teams.

I think we’re still a week or two away from being able to make some heavy analysis and predictions, but through the first five weeks of the season, I think the five teams with a 1.61 or better differential have a very good shot at making the playoffs. Two of those five teams, the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos are in the same division, so that would take care of one Wild Card spot in the AFC if indeed both make the playoffs. Baring significant injuries at key positions, it’s hard to imagine that the Chargers will finish .500 or worse. The same goes for the Broncos, obviously.

Once you get past those four AFC teams that have 1.61 or better differential, the rest of the conference is a mess when it comes to this stat. strangely enough, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently the fifth best team in the AFC when it comes to ANY/A differential.

Assuming the New England Patriots will once again win the AFC East, I think the Steelers might be battling the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens for the final AFC spot. The Steelers will play the Texans in Week 7 and the winner of that game will have an advantage over the other should tie-breaking come into play after the regular season is over.

If I had to make a prediction right now for the AFC side based on these stats and the games that I’ve seen, I would predict that the Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Chargers will all make the playoffs. As for the sixth and final AFC team, I haven’t got a clue. I am pretty sure, however, that the Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets won’t be that sixth team. You don’t need this stat to tell you that.
