Looking at last weekend’s Wild Card games, how much would you have given to look at just four numbers? If you were able to see just these four stats, and nothing else — not total yards, time of possession, 3rd down conversions etc. — just these four numbers, how much would you have been willing to bet on the outcome:
Atlanta vs. Arizona: Matt Ryan attempting 40 passes
Philly vs. Minnesota: Adrian Peterson rushing for 80 yards
Baltimore vs. Miami: Chad Pennington throwing 4 interceptions
Indy vs. San Diego: Colts rushing for just 64 yards
Knowing this would you have not bet the house on the outcome?

Hi Coach: Years ago (ironically, I think it was the year you won the Super Bowl) I read an article in Playboy which stated the best statistic to predict an NFL team’s success (80% +/- accuracy) is yards per pass attempt, computed after the fact. Any merit to this predictor? It doesn’t seem counter-intuitive to me. Cheers.
