PL and NFL O/Us
I think there is a chance we are reaching a tipping point with PL/NFL totals in relation to O/Us. “There are attacking players in this league and maybe preseason and lack of working time plays a part.” -Lampard. Back in the post I made on NFL win totals and division stuff, I noted I kind of liked the Carolina Panthers this year but was staying away because “this is not the year to be counting heavily on rookies and the Panthers D will have more than a few of those running around.” Well those defensive players now have about a month and a half of advanced level studies. Obviously this is more complex than just practice time, the NFL is simply officiated differently than 20 years ago, when wide receivers were assaulted on a weekly basis and then got to watch replays of their life-spans being shortened on Monday Night Countdown. But for the purposes of keeping things simple, I expect goal/point totals to start dropping, even if only slightly, now that folks are better acclimated.
