Game Saver Advantage
Minimizing turnovers could be the difference winning and losing. Unless you're playing in a dome stadium, weather can play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of a game. Cold weather can turn a soft leather ball into a rock-hard projectile and wet weather can turn an otherwise dry football into a greased pig. The team that wins the turnover battle, wins the game 70% of the time.
What you might not know is that one additional turnover forced or avoided adds .207 to your win percentage by the end of the season. A recent study analyzing the effects of turnovers showed that a turnover is equivalent to roughly 4 points. Improving your turnover margin by 1 per game is the same as improving your net yardage by roughly 77 yards per game. (Zach Levine).
