   The nine percentage point swing (52-43) using the Yates numbers seems pretty big. Is that just using the Texans numbers since Yates was the starter?

   It's the entire team's stats except the passing stats, which are exclusively Yates'.

   Must've been one of few people who had the 49ers as clear favourites.

   Ryan -- are you serious? That blog you linked looked at a grand total of 17 past playoff games to conclude what is the true playoff HFA. It could not be any less statistically sound.
