Saints at Patriots

Introduction

Neither the Saints or the Patriots will feel good about their offenses heading into this slightly underwhelming clash of teams who both lost in week 4.

The Saints will start Derek Carr, despite a shoulder injury that is clearly limiting his play. They fell to an upset defeat by the Bucs last week (predicted by this column), and a 2-2 record on the season.

The Patriots showed signs of life in week 3 when they beat the Jets, but returned back to earth with a thud in a calamitous 38-3 loss in Dallas. Can they regain some momentum? Or will the Saints get their second road win of the season?

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.
