Every year for the last…one…year, I’ve scored the NFL like it were NASCAR. Wins and Losses don’t count – only points do. Every point counts until you get to the last game of the Regular Season, and then the #1 and #2 ranked teams compare scores, with the team scoring more points in the last game being declared the Cup Winner.
To Recap: In 2015, the Packers (who ended their season with 380 points) took the cup from the Colts (who ended their season with 382 points) when the Packers scored 30 points in the final game of the regular season, to the Colts 27 points.
The NFL Season got started without me this year, and I just now realized it’s That Time Again. Here are the cumulative results for Week 5 of NFL-NASCAR!
Cardinals : 148 points
Falcons : 137 points
Bengals : 121 points
Patriots : 119 points
Packers : 113 points
Bills : 110 points
Panthers : 108 points
Giants : 102 points
Chiefs : 100 points
Broncos : 97 points
Raiders : 97 points
Chargers : 96 points
Steelers : 96 points
Cowboys : 95 points
Jets : 95 points
Ravens : 93 points
Titans : 89 points
Seahawks : 87 points
Saints : 86 points
Browns : 85 points
Vikings : 80 points
Eagles : 78 points
Redskins : 78 points
Texans : 77 points
Rams : 74 points
Buccaneers : 72 points
Colts : 72 points
Bears : 68 points
Lions : 66 points
Dolphins : 65 points
Jaguars : 62 points
49ers : 48 points
As much as I hate to do this, I’m definitely going to have to give the Raiders the nod for Most Improved Team. This week last year, they had scored a paltry 51 points compared to this year’s 97 points, and after just 4 games in the 2016 season, they’ve already scored more than half of their entire 2015 Point Total.
See you next week!
