Seahawks at Packers
Passing efficiency stats are the most important "group" of stats
separating winners from losers. It comes as no surprise that Green
Bay Packer QB Brett Favre has the statistical advantages over
Seahawk's QB Matt Hasselbeck in next Sunday's war.
Farve has all the numbers: With the Pack on offense the pass
completion percentage is the key stat. Favre's 63% ranks in the 90th
percentile. The 'Hawk's D percentile rank is 29.

The huge difference between Packer offense and Seahawk defense is
worth 6 points in the winning margin.
A second passing efficiency stat is the absolute number of incomplete
passes. Packers lead the league with only 10 incomplete throws per
game. Favre's bullet passes are heat seeking missiles.
On Defense the Packers have the edge on the run/pass balance. The
Seahawks do not have a running back to match Ahman Green. The Pack's
defense finished the season allowing only 7 rushing plays for each 10
pass attempts. Relative to the league the Pack rank in the 87th
percentile. The opposition 'Hawks finished at the 34 percentile
level.
Advantage to the Packer's defense is another 4 points.
The electronic hardware's equation favours the Packers by 7 1/2. Bud
thinks it will be more.
