Oh, absolutely (look at the Patriots). I just saw an opportunity to do a satirically-stuck-up post on raw statistics over Opponent-Adjusted numbers and took it. Was solely meant for chuckles.

Yeah, very few people have the time for that. I'm hoping I can figure out the "secret" one of these days to making that conversion easy. I know the raw numbers aren't giving me the statistical results I'm looking for, but I can't figure out the best way to adjust them either. Too many options.
