Super Bowl Math
So how about a picture of the Super Bowl stats?
The strong, average and weak elements in the cartoon below picture
the strengths and weaknesses of the Pats and Panthers.
The left side of each player represents offense and the right defense.
The better the player looks, the strong the team.

In the Patriots vs Panthers matchup, the cartoon above shows the
Panthers have an advantage on offensive yards per pass (left arm).
But the Patriots have advantages on defensive interceptions (right eye),
defensive sacks (nose) and fumbles recovered (helmet patch).
Based on the strength of the Patriots defense (an almost perfect-looking
right side of the Patriots' player), the computer character (middle) favors the
Patriots by 7.
