Time of what? West coast team playing an early game on the east coast, that sort of thing? Sure. It's one of about 1000 things I think about. 
No, not really. It really depends on how each team's offence matches up against the other's defence, as I see it. (If you're talking strictly matchup handicapping...which in itself is still only part of the overall picture). Team X may score 30 pts every week for 4 weeks in a row...but maybe they were playing against teams that are all poor against the pass. Now they play a team that gives up just as many points as the previous opponents, but their weakness is defending the run, not the pass. That's a whole different comparison. Maybe Team X doesn't have much of a running game. But just going by pts scored and allowed (or "points per minute", as you are looking at it), you could easily come to the wrong conclusion.

I have been working on one for sometime now.
x4 + 2px2 + p2 = px2 - qx - r + p2
i.e.
(x2 + p)2 = px2 - qx - r + p2
(x2 + p + y)2 = px2 - qx - r + p2 + 2y(x2 + p) + y2
= (p + 2y)x2 - qx + (p2 - r + 2py + y2) (*)
i insert the variables and of course always square by pi and multiply by the earths revolutions for non linear leap years.

No, I don't really. Points per minute is exactly the same ratio as points per game, as (ecluding overtime) there are the same number of minutes in each game.
He has a point. I never took into accout that LSU would score close to 2 points per minute in the fourth quarter last night. :flush:
