CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Houston Offensive Line Grade (3.5) vs. Minnesota Front Seven (5.7) = -2.2 in the trenches
Minnesota Offensive Line (4.7) vs. Houston Front Seven (5.7) = -1 adjustments to running averages
Houston QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6.1) + OL (3.5) - Minnesota F7 (5.7) - SEC (6.4) = -0.15
Minnesota QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.5) + OL (4.7) - Houston F7 (5.7) - SEC (6.1) = -0.15
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.
