NFL Week 4 Phony Finals: Analysis and Insights
In Week 4, Steve Fezzik and Munaf Manji analyze several NFL "phony final" scores, highlighting games where the results do not fully reflect the teams’ performance due to strange plays or statistical anomalies.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints (00:02)
Speaker: Steve Fezzik
Atlanta won by two points but didn’t cover the spread (-2.5 to -3). Fezzik notes two freakish touchdowns: a pick-six from a ball deflected 20 feet in the air and a quirky end zone recovery. Despite these odd scores, Atlanta’s performance was unimpressive.
Downgrade for Atlanta despite the win, and upgrade for New Orleans, who performed better than the final score suggests.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers (02:08)
Speaker: Steve Fezzik
Fezzik comments on Minnesota’s 28-0 lead over Green Bay. Despite Green Bay’s comeback, Fezzik downgrades them for failing to capitalize on their chances. Minnesota’s dominance, led by key players like Aaron Jones, warrants an upgrade.
Downgrade for Green Bay, upgrade for Minnesota, focusing on Minnesota's overall control.
Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Rams (04:05)
Speaker: Steve Fezzik
The Bears won by six points, but Fezzik believes they were outplayed. The Rams outgained them by 60 yards and 0.7 yards per play, but luck favored Chicago. Deandre Swift’s breakout performance helped, but the Bears were fortunate.
Downgrade for Chicago, as the game was closer than the score shows.
Key Player Statistics
Aaron Jones (Vikings): Key in Minnesota's offense and a major reason for their upgrade.
Jordan Love (Packers): Showed potential in his late-game return but didn’t do enough to prevent Green Bay’s downgrade.
Deandre Swift (Bears): His breakout performance was crucial to Chicago’s win, helping their previously weak run game.
Key Team Insights
Atlanta Falcons: Won due to anomalous plays but couldn’t cover the spread. Their overall performance is weaker than the score implies.
New Orleans Saints: Despite the loss, they deserve an upgrade due to strong defense and better performance than expected.
Minnesota Vikings: Dominated Green Bay, showing significant improvement with the return of key players. Upgrade warranted.
Green Bay Packers: Downgrade due to inconsistent play and dependence on a late comeback that fell short.
Chicago Bears: Won despite being outgained. Their victory was more about lucky breaks than skill, leading to a downgrade.
Conclusion
Week 4 showcased several misleading results, where teams like the Falcons and Bears benefited from luck and unusual plays, leading to downgrades. On the other hand, Minnesota and New Orleans earned upgrades for their performances, while Green Bay’s inconsistency hurt them. Fezzik's analysis offers key insights into how final scores can sometimes mask a team’s true strength.
