Seahawks at Lions

Introduction

Note: This was originally picked as an underdog cover, but due to injury news that came out a few hours after publication on Wednesday, was switched to a favorite cover. Apologies for the inconvenience.

The Lions shook the football world with a scrappy win over the Chiefs in the season opener last Thursday. Jared Goff has now gone about a million years (give or take) of his career without an interception, and there's cause for optimism in Detroit after years of misery.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks, last season's surprise package, failed miserably against a Rams team that has been eviscerated of talent. There are worrying signs, but a big spread surely works in their favor this week, right?

Weighted stats ranking unit vs unit

Weighted rankings are a way of measuring a team's 'true' performance, taking into account the relative strength of each opponent. For example, a team throwing for 300 yards against a team that gives up 250 yards on average, would have a weighted performance of +50 yards. Conversely, if the opponent ordinarily allows 350 yards against other opponents, then the team would have a weighted performance of -50 yards.

This chart shows not only the weighted performance in key areas of the game, but also the weighted performance of the corresponding unit of their opponent, eg: Run Offense vs Run Defense.
