Football Outsiders Stat-Heavy Prediction 1/16/09

[RandomGuy]

I'm guessing more than a few Cards fans won't agree with it, but these guys generally do a great job crunching numbers for their predictions and tendency analysis.

This stat may have real relevance, given the way McNabb spreads the ball around.

The defense against "other wide receivers" is just one of the many statistical weaknesses of the Arizona pass defense. If we re-run the numbers without Weeks 13-16, the weeks Arizona may not have been trying their hardest, do these stats improve significantly? Not really.

• Arizona was 28th against number-one receivers and 27th against "other receivers." Without Weeks 13-16, they still rank 27th in both categories. (Removing Weeks 13-16 does significantly improve Arizona's pass defense stats against tight ends and running backs.)

Tis okay, the guy picked ATL and CAR.

No doubt. Those guys go insanely deep into stats. Just a time-killer while we all look forward to the actual game.

Stats are always interesting, especially if they show strong indicators. Looking at those same kinds of stats from the Titans/Ravens game, it's no wonder the Titans won by such a large margin.

Seriously, historical 2008 stats do indicate Philly should win easily.
