Cool, and of course what any team really needs is points, so difference between home and away points should work as well.

Hey Wayne, you are on point. I have some of that already computed and will post it tomorrow. Thanks for the message.

There is not a doubt in my mind that eggs came before chickens.

The egg debuted millions and millions of years before chickens.

Let me suggest as a math geek that a better variable than home goal differential, is the difference between their home goal differential and their away goal differential. This does a better job of showing the lift (or lack of) that they get at home. It also somewhat removes the chicken-egg thing that better teams at home get more fans.

It’s the reason the crowd is always referred to as the 7th man. I think that there is no question that the enthusiasm of the Winnipeg crowd can impact the Jets play in a positive manner.
