SB History - 500 Total points Scored

History has not been kind to those teams who score 500 or more points on the season.  The 16 game season this points per game avg. is 31.25 ppg.  With 17 games it moved to 29.41.  Small sample size since we went to 17 games but of note there are a whopping 4 teams this year all over the 500 mark. 

Lions, Bills, Ravens and Buccs all scored 500 or more total points.  When looking at the 16 game average though only the Lions hit that mark.  So in 16 games the other three teams would not have hit 500.  

Here is the list since modern NFL realignment in 2002.  ONLY the 2009 Saints won the SB under this criteria.  

23 - Pokes 

22 - No teams

21 - Pokes + Buccs

20 - Packers + Bills 

19 - Ravens

18 - Chiefs + Rams + Saints 

17 - No teams

16 - Falcons 

15 - Panthers 

14 - No teams

13 - Broncos (600!!) 

12 - Patriots 

11 - Packers 

10 - Pats  

09 - Saints (only team to win SB) 

08 - No teams 

07 - Pats 

06 - No teams

05 - No teams

04 - Colts 

03 - Chiefs

02 - Chiefs

Hmmm interesting find and good handicapping to dig this deep.

Seeing that you have most favorites in your search  to win the Superbowl and your stats having them not makes me want to go and play a few bucks on some possible creeper team in this year's super bowl as you never know.

Please anybody but the Chiefs again.

Defense wins championships. That’s thought comes to mind. 

I've never been a big person to look at points (runs) scored,... or points (runs)  given up,... in any sports .......but point (run) "" differential ""  .   And the Lions win that in spades in Football. 

um  yes but now we wxtra game so it s differnt

Not by PPG its not...... Lions were only team to qualify and now they are bounced out.  Always something to keep an eye on year in and year out.
