Be On The Lookout For The Referees

Carl Cheffers is a veteran referee who calls a lot of penalties. Cheffers consistently ranks in the top 5 per season for penalties.

A Cheffers officiated game will exceed NFL average in penalties more often than not. The takeaway from his long term trends are that when the dust has settled the home team wins well above the NFL average.


I was disappointed, but not at all surprised that Cheffers was assigned the Bengals-Bills game.  The Bills are something like 8-0  in games most recently  done by Chef's crew.

He did also ref the game against the Titans this year, which the Bengals won on the road.
