Butt Whippings, NFL style.

[SC Maintenance]

its worth saying there are about 50 or 60 college games on Saturday but 16 or so NFL on the weekend
oh there are games in the NFL you know aren't worth watching
but most of the college games are blowout material.
.

The stats aren't that far apart.

FBS - 15 points or less is the 50.2 percentile - https://cleanuphitter.com/cfb/stats/cfb_common_scores.php

NFL - 8 points or less - 50.44% - https://cleanuphitter.com/nfl/stats/nfl_common_scores.php

So exactly one touchdown difference. Not exactly blowout considering the NCAA will run up scores on purpose to show "strength of victory" for the rankings and the blowout often happens late in the game when its over anyway.

If you could find a stat of when ranked teams played each other, then you might be closer to the NFL?

A lot of the blowouts in college are expected - like interstate rivalries, so people are happy to see them play even if there not competitive. NCAA is far more inclusive for having a home team. If you only want to watch competitive games its really easy - just watch two ranked teams playing each other.

Some football fans prefer college while others prefer the NFL. Some both. All good.

I watch some of both.. I prefer the NFL, mostly because it is a commercial product, although College Football is surely going the same way, now that players can switch teams..

In Texas, high school football is sort of a religion.

Also if they were athletes they would display sportsmanship and not run the score up 50 points.

The Dolphins & Broncos aren't divisional rivals or even a playoff rivals that I recall.....No need to run up the score like that.

I honestly don't think they ran up the score... the Bronco's played that bad and the Dolfins played that well.
in the 4th quarter the Dolfins put in the backups, and still scored a few more touchdowns..
and give their coach some credit, near the end of the game he could have kicked a field goal and set the all time
NFL scoring record for a game, but he had the team take a knee..

It had something to do with Russ. See my earlier post on the topic.

Russ plays offense and did manage 20... but the Bronco's didn't play defense.

I clearly pointed that obvious fact out. Uggh.

I didn't go back far enough to see the obvious. my bad.

No worries. For sure my theory is whacked. Maybe there was no run up. I should look at the Miami line up.......nah no one jumps out at me. Let's just leave it at: Good for Tua!

Go Lions tonight!!
