49ers at Rams

Introduction

A matchup of two winning teams in week 2 is always interesting, particularly as both arguably exceeded expectations in week 1.

The 49ers crushed the Steelers in Pittsburgh, after being roundly tipped (hmm) to be a close game. Everything went right, and the 49ers are clearly the team to beat in the NFC.

Then in Seattle, the Rams went on the road and thrashed the Seahawks despite being big underdogs. If only there were a column where someone predicted these things. Ah well, you win some, you lose some, but it's an indicator the Rams may not be dead and buried just yet.

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.
