I prefer to do it as weeks 1-9 (record 3/6) v. week 11-18, after the week 10 bye (record 7/1). I think the bye is a serious and significant dividing point.
It would take a lot to do all the relevant the numbers so I’ll save that part. Though fwiw I can do a quick comparison of points for/against. Before the bye, Rams points for/against averaged 19.66/22.66. In the 8 games after the bye, they averaged 28.25/21.6. That’s a 43.7% increase in scoring. The points for/against differential (ie. scoring margin) went from –3.00 to +6.65, a swing of 9.65.
If each “half” of the season was ranked against the stats for the league for the whole season, it would go like this:
PF, before bye: 23rd
PA, before bye: 22nd
point differential, before bye: 23rd
PF, after bye: 3rd
PA, after bye: 15th
point differential, after bye: 5th
