IDP Matchups and Stat Trends - Week 13

Aaron Rudnicki's IDP Matchups and Stat Trends - Week 13 Aaron Rudnicki Published 12/01/2022

The Footballguys IDP Matchup Spreadsheet is used to track trends around the league to help with evaluating IDP matchups. I’ll use this article to call out some interesting numbers in the data each week.

SCHEDULE TAB

I’ve added in a new Schedule tab this year to try and quickly identify favorable matchups each week. I pulled in some key metrics for the defense as well as the offense they are facing this week.

When I look at matchups for this week, these are the matchups that look MOST FAVORABLE from a tackling perspective (with some notes if the matchup is particularly unfavorable for run vs pass):

  • TENNESSEE (vs Philadelphia) – Eagles generating 55 tackle opps/game (33 rush attempts)
  • HOUSTON (vs Cleveland) – Browns generating 55 tackle opps/game (31 rush attempts)
  • WASHINGTON (vs NY Giants) – Giants generating 53 tackle opps/game (32 rush attempts)
  • DALLAS (vs Indianapolis) – Colts generating 53 tackle opps/game (25 pass completions)
  • KANSAS CITY (vs Cincinnati) – Bengals generating 52 tackle opps/game (26 pass completions)
  • ATLANTA (vs Pittsburgh) – Steelers generating 52 tackle opps/game
  • LAS VEGAS Raiders (vs LA Chargers) – Chargers generating 52 tackle opps/game (28 pass completions)

In contrast, these matchups look LEAST FAVORABLE from a tackling perspective (with some notes if the matchup is particularly unfavorable for run vs pass):

  • CLEVELAND (vs Houston) – Texans generating 45 tackle opps/game (21 rush attempts)
  • NY GIANTS (vs Washington) – Commanders generating 46 tackle opps/game (21 pass completions)
  • PHILADELPHIA (vs Tennessee) – Titans generating 46 tackle opps/game (16 pass completions)
  • MINNESOTA (vs NY Jets) – Jets generating 47 tackle opps/game (20 pass completions)
  • PITTSBURGH (vs Atlanta) – Falcons generating 48 tackle opps/game (14 pass completions)
  • SEATTLE (vs LA Rams) – Rams generating 48 tackle opps/game (22 rush attempts)
  • TAMPA BAY (vs New Orleans) – Saints generating 48 tackle opps/game

You may also want some help picking out matchups for pass rushers. These are some that look MOST FAVORABLE to me from a pass-rush perspective:

  • DALLAS (vs Indianapolis) – Colts allow 3.6 sacks/game
  • GREEN BAY (vs Chicago) – Bears allow 3.5 sacks/game
  • SEATTLE (vs LA Rams) – Rams allow 3.5 sacks/game
  • BALTIMORE (vs Denver) – Broncos allow 3.3 sacks/game
  • KANSAS CITY (vs Cincinnati) – Bengals allow 3.2 sacks/game (only 5 in last 3 games)
  • WASHINGTON (vs NY Giants) – Giants allow 3.0 sacks/game
  • CLEVELAND (vs Houston) – Texans allow 3.0 sacks/game (14 in last 3 games)
