Estimating equations of lines of best fit, and using them to make predictions

In the 2014-20152014\,\text{-}\,2015 season of the English Premier League, there were 2020 soccer teams, and each team played a total of 3838 matches. The scatter plot below shows the average number of goals each team scored per match, and how many total matches each team won. Each dot on the scatter plot represents a team. A line was fit to the data to model the relationship between scoring goals and winning games.
