Week 6
NFC MOST UP
The Chicago Bears are the most UP team adding 16.5 points per game to their scoring differential.
The stat contributing most to this rocket-like rise is our Killer Stat, yards per Pass Attempt.
The stat graphic avove pictures the close correlation of yards per toss (RED) with the Bears' Winning Margin (Blue line). The two stats are linked. And the big change in yards per pass show it is closely tied to the Bears' scoring differential.
Year in and year out the most important "independent" stat separating winners from lossers is this Killer Stat, yards per toss. This season it added 8.2 points per game to the Bears' winning margin.
NFC MOST DOWN
The Seattle Seahawks are the NFC's most DOWN team where their scoring differential is off -11.9 points per game. The stat contributing most points to this swoon is Yards Lost Passing.
The stat graphic above pictures this season's tight correlation between the 'Hawks' sack yards and their scoring differential.
It is likely due to their opponents' pass D. Without Shaun Alexander's run-run-score-score threat their opponents are putting an extra man on pass D.
Until RB Alexander returns from IR, QB Matt Hasselbeck will be under added pressure.
