CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Minnesota Offensive Line Grade (5.8) vs. St. Louis Front Seven (6) = -0.2 in the trenches
St. Louis Offensive Line (5) vs. Minnesota Front Seven (5.8) = -0.8 adjustments to running averages
Minnesota QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.6) + OL (5.8) - St. Louis F7 (6) - SEC (5.9) = -0.05
St. Louis QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6.6) + OL (5) - Minnesota F7 (5.8) - SEC (5.4) = 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.
