THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | -6.8 | -0.8 | -6.0 | +0 |
| Cowboys | +1.1 | -4.8 | +5.9 | +4 |

average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.
