VIEWING STATISTICAL MATCHUPS To use this option, click on the Analyze Scheduled game button, or pull down the "View" menu and select "Statistical Matchups." From the sub menu, you can choose to look at a "Scheduled Game" or analyze "Any Two Teams." Professional sports gamblers choose their weekly "plays" VERY carefully, and while a few will rely on computer predictions, many prefer to use their own judgement and instincts. Instead, these pros use an arsenal of other tools and resources before making their picks. CASH is such a tool. The "Stat Matchup" feature gives head-to-head data in over 74 different categories! Here are some of the statistics available for your analysis and comparison: Rush Attempts Rushing Yards Pass Attempts Completions Passing Yards Total Offensive Yards Offensive Plays Average Yards per Play Punts ------------------------------------------------------------------ The stats above are broken down into four different categories, displayed across one line for easy comparison. Examples have been included after each description listed below, for a game between Denver (visiting) and Detroit (home). Offense - The offensive stats for the visiting team. (Denver is rushing for 100 yds per game.) Versus Opp - The defensive stats for the visitor's opponents. (Denver's OPPONENTS allow 134 rush yds per game.) Defense - The defensive stats for the home team. (Detroit allows 80 rushing yards per game.) Versus Opp - The offensive stats for the home's opponents. (Detroit's OPPONENTS rush for 120 yds per game.) CASH - The adjusted stat. HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED: Stats can sometimes be misleading, particularly early in the season. A team that has been rushing for 100 yards per game may have attained this figure against teams who are weak or strong AGAINST the rush. CASH will adjust the offensive and defensive stats accordingly before it uses them in any calculations. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fumbles Total - Total fumbles.
