Cowboys at 49ers

Introduction

The biggest game of week 5 sees two of the best teams in the NFC face off on Sunday night.

The Cowboys are 3-1, and despite a surprise loss to the Cardinals in week 3, will be optimistic of their chances, given their 38-3 mauling of the Patriots last time out.

The 49ers are the class of the entire NFL. They're 4-0 and have yet to look troubled in any of their 4 matchups so far. This is the first team they've played who are a potential playoff contender, however, so let's dive in and see whether an upset is brewing.

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.
