DVOA stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. It’s a metric that compares success on every single play across a league average, while taking into consideration the situation and opponent. It was created by Football Outsiders founder Aaron Schatz and is widely considered an excellent tool for measuring efficiency and predicting future success.
