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):

  • CHICAGO (vs San Francisco) - 49ers offense generates 52.9 tackle opps/game 
  • HOUSTON (vs LA Chargers) - Chargers offense generates 52.5 tackle opps/game
  • WASHINGTON (vs Dallas) - Cowboys offense generates 52.5 tackle opps/game
  • PHILADELPHIA (vs Buffalo) – Bills offense generates 52.3 tackle opps/game

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

  • DETROIT (vs Minnesota) – Vikings offense generates 43.7 tackle opps/game
