Read this and tell me why anyone WOULDN'T pick PIT

Turnover margin hasn't affected the fact that Pitt scores a whopping 1 FG less than the Saints per game and gives up a whopping 2 points more. Against tougher competition.

Turnovers schmurnovers. It's moot when it doesn't significantly affect other stats, primarily points scored and points scored against.

When you turn the ball over in the red zone it effects points scored significantly.

When you turn the ball over inside you own 30 it effects points scored against significantly.

When you turn the ball over everywhere else it takes plays away from the offense and forces your defense to be on the field more greatly effecting both the points scored and points against stats.

When you turn the ball over several times a game it will cause you to play from behind. This effects the passing and rushing stats because when your playing catch up you will pass more.

This is why turnovers are widely considered the most important stat in football.
