Seattle is a top 5 defense and offense based on EPA

reply

Vikings looked great last regular season too

reply

Their pass protection was below average which was exposed in week 18 and wild card

I will check their EPA from last season

O’Connell is a good coach who achieves more with less

Vikings point differential was 4.6 last season rank 8

Seattle is 11.1 this season rank 1

Appreciate you looking up the stats. I was just vibing

I hope Seattle wins. I have 1M sats on the line for the 9ers to not win the superbowl cc @grayruby

Your shares must be in profit. You could always sell and not risk the big loss.

losing Kittle is big

I am not a 49er fan and I love Kittle

Yes he is a big loss. Tonges can fill in nicely in the pass game but they can’t replicate what Kittle can do. They need Pearsall back.

no problem and I was curious anyway

in case you haven't noticed I like looking at data and trends and advanced nfl metrics such as epa and success rate

the irony is the best leading indicator is scoring differential, a simple metric

the super bowl last year should not have been a surprise because KC was 'overrated' and lucky based on their point diff. The eagles were clearly the better team on paper

Seahawks and Texans are the best two defenses in the league. Seahawks offense piled up a lot of yards and points in games against terrible teams that had no hope against their D. I think their offense is good not great.

reply

good teams are supposed to blow out terrible teams

they did their job

Denver defense on a good day can be as good if not better
