I would be interested to see what the average margin of victory is now compared to years past... Is there anyway to find this out? The new rules just make it so the difference between average teams in good is almost insurmountable. I feel like in years past most games were competitive or close, and this year there just seams to be a ton of blowouts every week.

I pulled the games and did quick calculations to find the averages. The problem with calculating the average is that without looking at a distribution it may not be very representative of disparity in scores. The median difference in victory would be very useful but it's substantially more time consuming to compile the data for the median than the average in this case.

There's some fudge in there. I averaged all of the weeks' average margin of victory together like equal quantities but the bye weeks versus non-bye weeks should be weighted for accuracy. I doubt it would mess things up too much.
