How about other factors such as home field....do you have any adjustment factors for this? Have you done any log graphs...I only ask because I like logs...I used to live in one.

In a given area, say passing, the offense and opposing defense are each defined as being under, or overachievers. If, for example, a team averages 100 yds passing against teams that usually give up 150 yds, the team is an underachiever. Achievement is quantified as a ratio. On offense a ratio 1 overachievement. The reverse is true on defense. I average these two ratios. Then I average the team's typical pass yards with what the opponent typically gives up on defense. Then I multiply the two averages. That is the predicted value. Or consider this.... T1PO => team 1 avg pass offense T1oppPD => team 1 opponents avg pass defense T2PD => team 2 avg pass defense T2oppPO => team 2 opponents avg pass offense T1PVPO => team 1 predicted value pass offense T1PVPO = .25 * (T1PO/T1oppPD + T2PD/T2oppPO) * (T1PO + T2PD) Obviously the predicted offensive output is equal to the opposing team’s predicted defensive effort.
