I've always wondered what the one most consistent stat is for winning teams versus losing ones. Obviously it's PPG vs. PPGA, overall, but what translates into that? I'd guess it's turnover differential and yards per play differential.

I read something I can't find now that suggested that average fantasy football points per team was the stat most well correlated with wins overall.

This seems rather tautological, doesn't it?

Not completely but fantasy scores are heavily based on points so there is that.
