CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
New England Offensive Line Grade (4.8) vs. Dallas Front Seven (5.8) = -1 in the trenches
Dallas Offensive Line (5.3) vs. New England Front Seven (5.1) = 0.2 adjustments to running averages
New England QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.5) + OL (4.8) - Dallas F7 (5.8) - SEC (5.8) = -0.13
Dallas QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.8) + OL (5.3) - New England F7 (5.1) - SEC (5.6) = 0.04
These adjustments will not always apply completely, such as in cases where QBs have high completion percentages already and get more yard rewards for strong adjustments instead and smaller (7%) percentage boost.
