himmystyles 29 Posted September 22, 2017 In the past it seems like players who play in the overseas game tend to play crappier. I'm sure jet lag has something to do with it. Anyone benching some of these guys, when you normally wouldn't, for a lesser alternative because of the trip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted September 22, 2017 I dunno. Average team score in London games is just over 24 pts. In 2016, the average team score across all teams per game was 22.75. The NFL sense garbage teams over there, but they are scoring above average points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted September 23, 2017 Here are scores from the past 3 years of London and Mexico nfl scores... 2016 Oak 27 - Texans 20 Redskins 27 - bengals 27 Giants 17 - Rams 10 - these teams had horrid offenses last year - don't use this example! 2015 Chiefs 45 - lions 10 Jags 34 - bills 31 Jets 27 - dolphins 14 2014 Cowboys 31 - jags 17 Lions 22 - falcons 21 Dolphins 38 - raiders 14 After computing all the numbers mathematically in my head...here is my conclusion... The better team is Baltimore or Jags? I'm taking Baltimore after the way Tennessee just crushed the jags this past weekend. The winning teams have put up some very solid point totals in these international affairs. Fantasy players on those rosters must've produced. That's why I like all Baltimore players this Saturday at 9:30am. Start em if you own em! Flacco - only problem here is that they get ahead too much and run 2nd half Maclin - will score a td for three weeks in a row Defense - a must start Javoriuos Allen - potential huge game especially if Terrance West has a lingering injury from last game Terrance West - will score for the 3rd straight week as well if he gets over 14 touches - monitor injury Benjamin Watson - hello late pick tight end that was on fire last week! He will do it again vs Jags Leonard Fournette - might receive an ouchie in this game if the Jags can't find any passing rhythm - just saying because he's an LSU poosay. Go Mississippi State Bulldawgs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 23, 2017 Did you watch the low scoring Thursday night game? NFL is simply unpredictable. Start your best players each week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donkey 34 Posted September 23, 2017 I was thinking the opposite as was thinking points tend to higher. Jocstraps post seems to confirm that. That said both teams have excellent defenses and pretty bad offenses so it's hard to see too many points scored. Although London games do seem to be more unpredictable. I have a few guys in this game and am undecided on all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few guys in this game and am undecided on all of them. I also didn't just make up the numbers I posted. That is the average points per team across all London games, and the average points scored all of last year. More points scored in London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More points scored in London. Maybe it's just having players go early and not being used to watching football that early in the day haha. Just always feels like the london games are sluggish and ugly for some reason. Thanks for the stats tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just always feels like the london games are sluggish and ugly for some reason. Thanks for the stats tho. I think it's largely the quality of the teams. I mean, the Jags are the median London team. We watch the games thinking "Man, these guys don't look great". And they maybe stumble their way to a lot of points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
