CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Buffalo Offensive Line Grade (6.8) vs. Detroit Front Seven (5.9) = 0.9 in the trenches
Detroit Offensive Line (5.6) vs. Buffalo Front Seven (6.1) = -0.5 adjustments to running averages
Buffalo QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6) + OL (6.8) - Detroit F7 (5.9) - SEC (6.2) = 0.07
Detroit QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.7) + OL (5.6) - Buffalo F7 (6.1) - SEC (6.3) = -0.11
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.
