CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Denver Offensive Line Grade (6.2) vs. Buffalo Front Seven (6) = 0.2 in the trenches
Buffalo Offensive Line (5.8) vs. Denver Front Seven (5.3) = 0.5 adjustments to running averages
Denver QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6.7) + OL (6.2) - Buffalo F7 (6) - SEC (5.4) = 0.15
Buffalo QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.8) + OL (5.8) - Denver F7 (5.3) - SEC (6.0) = 0.03
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.
