NFL Referee Statistics Before Week 17 of the 2009 NFL Season

More data and saving time by not going through all the categories. Post a comment if you'd like a focus on any of the categories.

Here are NFL referee statistics to use in week 17 (for the games that are on Sunday, January 3, 2010) because it includes data through week 16 or games through December 28, 2009.

Home Team Win Rate (the much-watched rate that home teams win for particular referees) These are unadjusted numbers and I have not seen a correlation from season to season, so this might not be correlated to specific referees. But we can track it anyway...

• Highest: Bill Leavy and Jeff Triplette (79%), Peter Morelli (64%)
• Lowest: Walt Anderson (29%), Ed Hochuli (36%), Terry McAulay, Tony Corrente, Carl Cheffers, Jerome Boger (43%)

Total Points (adjusted and unadjusted). Unadjusted are raw total points. Adjusted compares the total points to the over/under line for the game.

• Highest: Gene Steratore (52.3, +10.2), John Parry (49.4, +7.1), Mike Carey (46.8, +3.6)
• Lowest: Jerome Boger (34.7, -8.7), Ron Winter (38.2, -5.0), Walt Anderson (39.7, -3.6)

Not much difference between the unadjusted raw total points and the total points per game when accounting for the over/under line for the game.

Over/under % for the season so far: Gene Steratore (79% win rate with the over) versus Tony Corrente and Jerome Boger (25% win rate with the over).

Data Dump of Selected Statistics -- ok, a short table of selected statistics, copy this into a spreadsheet and you can sort to your heart's content. Post a comment if you find certain details or details interesting. Or if you find interesting trends in your analysis!
