NBA Best Bets of the Day (12/2)
Alex Christenson
Now updated with Monday Night Football.
Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the best quarterback of Week 13, with a 400-yard game against the Cincinnati Bengals. In our advanced stats, Wilson led the NFL with 214 YAR before opponent adjustments. However, the Bengals are an easy defense to play against this year, and Wilson drops to 176 DYAR when we adjust for the Cincinnati defense. Still the best game of the week for any quarterback, but not quite as impressive.
Wilson has actually enjoyed one of the easiest schedules of any quarterback in the league since he became the Steelers starter in Week 7. None of the defenses Wilson has faced rank any higher than 16th in pass defense DVOA right now. For the season, Wilson goes from 415 YAR to 319 DYAR with the opponent adjustments.
Let’s take a look at the quarterbacks with the strongest opponent adjustments so far this season:
