I'd like ot see the ratio for the first half of all these games.
I'm not jumping through your hoop.
You made the accusation (that these stats are skewed), so the onus is on you to prove it.
I thought PFR did first/second half splits, but couldn't find it on my phone. That said, just looking at halves with no other context would prove nothing. The vast majority of these 33 games were close enough that the winning team wouldn't be going ultra conservative for the entire 2nd half anyway. Or at all.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
