The Sterling Net Point Power Rankings™
(Thru NFL Conference Championships (23_24)


I believe it's instructive for people to understand that this the Sterling net Point Power Rankings™) is a study. After all the former players and coaches gave their expert opinion, the show moderator would close out with some cool stat and many times it was a differential. So I began to track the important differentials and take it one step further where we extract what we call the Bias. It's the Net point differential between two competing teams. The team with the greater net points would be favored and we call that number the 'Bias'. 
Recently, I was toying with how to calculate a teams recent momentum into the Net Point Rankings. These are the standard rankings 1 through 32.We use averages to account for the Bye week.






There are many who see the Kansas City Chiefs as the favorite to win SBLVIII although the oddsmakers are favoring the San Francisco Forty Niners. I wanted to account for the recency Bias so I averaged in the last three weeks stats into the season stats just to see what happens. Take a look. The difference is stunning.













Here we have the Bias+ which takes into account Average Turnover Differential. The number you see represents the normal season averages as depicted in the first set of rankings. If you are analysing the game keep in mind the second set of stats. Enjoy the game.

  The Sterling Net Point Power Rankings mainly focus on Pro Football. As a big Basketball fan, I thought with the season ending today, I would check out the Point Differentials to see which teams have been most dominant.  Here are the Top 3 teams for Point Differential. At number 3 we have the Memphis Grizzlies with a 56 and 25 record and a point differential of +6.1. The Grizzlies are just that Grizzly. Led by now superstar Ja Morant, they are second in scoring at 115.7 PPG, just .2 points behind number 1 Minnesota Timberwolves. Defensively they fall to 12th allowing 109.6 PPG. It will be interesting to see how their defense stands up to all playoff caliber teams.  The Boston Celtics hold the second spot with a +7.0 point differential. The Celtics have not been as prolific as the Grizzlies ranking 11th in scoring  with 111.4 PPG. However, the reason net points are so illuminating is that it encompasses both offense and defense and defense is where the Celtics excel. They rank 1st allo

  NFL Intriguing Game of the Week Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) @ Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) Bias+ Score 0.1 favors Kansas City Chiefs By Barry Sterling Mitchell   I never make the ‘Intriguing’ game choice based on how big the game is. While this game is a huge Monday night event, that would not in itself qualify. What stood out to me as intriguing is that these teams have reached the same success as leaders of their conference but in very different ways. In particular what stood out was their rankings vs their record. Although they rank 1 st in their conferences based on win percentage. The Chiefs rank 5 th in Net Points averaging 7.2 Net Points while the Eagles rank 7 th with 6.3 Average Net Points (ANP). What this means is that although they win at a high rate, they are not winning by big margins. Plus, when I saw the Bias+ score of 0.1, this game became ultra intriguing. Even Vegas has it close with the Chiefs 2.5 point favorites.   First let’s review the stats of the
