CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Houston Offensive Line Grade (4.1) vs. Atlanta Front Seven (5.2) = -1.1 in the trenches
Atlanta Offensive Line (5.9) vs. Houston Front Seven (5.8) = 0.1 adjustments to running averages
Houston QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6.7) + OL (4.1) - Atlanta F7 (5.2) - SEC (6.3) = -0.07
Atlanta QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.6) + OL (5.9) - Houston F7 (5.8) - SEC (5.1) = 0.06
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.
