Economics of the Gridiron

I found this great breakdown of how much NFL teams spend per win between 2004-08. The financial figures are actual cash spent, not salary cap dollars, and to get the cost/win La Canfora simply divided the cash spent over the period by the number of W's by each team. Here is the table (kind of hard to read, sorry about that):

Team Wins Committed Cash Cost Per Win
1.) Patriots 63 512.31 M 8.14 M
2.) Colts 63 532.77 M 8.44 M
3.) Chargers 54 485.46 M 8.99 M
4.) Steelers 56 516.69 M 9.22 M
5.) Broncos 47 485.40 M 10.37 M
6.) Giants 47 497.63 M 10.58 M

God bless those Raiders fans.
