I saw an interesting stat regarding plus/minus turnovers over past two decades. 90%+

In the last 19 years, the team that won the Super Bowl was in the top 5 in turnover ratio 18 of those years.

18/19 times!

So who are the top 5 teams right now?

I cannot find the current stat , I know as of last week the top 3 were.

Chicago
Baltimore
San Diego

I think the other two were teams that were not likely to even reach the playoffs.

So there you have it. :thumbsup:

RAVENS are the team to beat.

Ravens/ Bears would be one hard hitting defensive and possibly very boring Super Bowl for 85% of the country.

Chargers/ Saints would probably be the most entertaining offensive game.

I still feel like the Saints are a year away...one good thing about Dallas and N.O. making big strides over the 2nd half, the NFC has emerged with 3 solid teams to represent in the big one.

that what football should be, not a track meet and flages for more points:youmad:

So the Colts have managed their way into the top 5. I would think the Super Bowl winner is sitting in that top 5 once again.

Go Stl?

Did this include turnover ratio results in the playoffs?
