Know the game better than anyone else at kickoff.
Every coach has a pattern. Every quarterback has a weak spot. Every matchup has a history. See all of it before the ball is kicked.
A modern research tool for the modern league.
NFL research on 28 seasons of data. Every coach, quarterback, and team, with their record in any situation. You see the pattern. You make the call.
It starts in 1999, the first season tracked play by play, and stays inside the modern league of free agency and the salary cap.
Any coach. Any quarterback. Any team. Any situation.
Three real examples. The same charts exist for every coach, quarterback, and team since 1999.
Compare any coach's record across any two situations at once, back to 1999.
Open Andy Reid in the demoSee any quarterback's numbers in the cold, off a bye, against a top-ten defense, and more, next to his own average.
Open Aaron Rodgers in the demoFollow any team season by season, with every coaching change marked.
Open Dallas Cowboys in the demoTwo coaches. Two quarterbacks. Two franchises. Side by side.
A game is two histories meeting. This is Lions at Panthers, one of the two games open in the demo. The same comparison exists for every game, every week.
Set any two head coaches side by side in the same situations. The bar is the share of games won; the number is the record.
Set any two quarterbacks side by side: at home, on the road, in prime time, as the underdog.
Set any two franchises side by side, season by season since 1999. Head to head in that time: Panthers 8–4 against Lions.
Ask a plain question. Get the record.
How do the 49ers do at home after a win? One question, one record. Ask the same about any team, coach, or quarterback.
The count is the point: every stat ships with its sample size attached, so you know when to lean on it and when not to.
Part of the week, not a last look.
The record moves from the final whistle to the next kickoff. Every matchup page is rebuilt after each slate and refreshed through the week, so it belongs in the routine, not only in the last minutes before the game.
After the slate
Every matchup of the coming week is rebuilt the morning after the games: coaching history, quarterback splits, scheme matchups, and where the line opened.
Through the week
Forecast, injuries, news, and the line refresh every few hours. When a designation changes, the team's record without that player is already attached.
The night before
Stack the conditions that are live this week: home, cold, short rest, favored. Watch the sample narrow and read the number with its count beside it.
Before kickoff
The last read. Five minutes on the matchup page with the record beside the market. The conclusion is yours.
Every chart chosen for a single relationship.
The insight has to land in under three seconds. Quadrant captions, reference lines, and baselines do the work so the chart needs no explanation. Everything below is real data from this week's briefings: the same charts, on every matchup, every profile.
Layered radar. Where the shapes diverge is where a profile is changing: career, last two seasons, and this season on the same twelve situations, passer rating on every axis.
Quadrant scatter. One dot per recent start: the pressure rate he faced against the rating he produced. Filled dots are Case Keenum, the bright one his most recent game, and the reference lines are his averages. Hollow dots are Drake Maye, his opponent this week, on the same axes.
Formation flow appears once play-by-play is loaded.
Composition appears once play-by-play is loaded.
Histogram. 8 meetings as a distribution of margins, not a record. A 2–6 series built on blowouts reads differently from one built on field goals.
Bump chart. Efficiency rank entering every week, computed from season-to-date numbers before each kickoff. The crossings are the inflections.
Diverging bars. Both teams mirrored on one axis across three horizons; the gap is the insight, and the trailing side fades.
Gauge. A rate on its own bounded scale: 158.3 is the ceiling, the tick marks this season.
- WW3 vs PHI247
- LW16 vs CLE62
- WW15 @ TEN229
- WW18 vs CIN176
- WW7 vs DEN199
- LW17 @ DAL206
- LW8 @ MIN130
- LW7 vs SF77
Per-game bars. Newest first, the tick is his career average, the badge is the result.
Timeline with event markers. 2 seasons of average margin; the dashed lines are a new team. The dips have names.
Slope chart. Two seasons, both starters; a crossing line is the story.
Every angle on the matchup. No verdict.
One briefing per game, rebuilt every week: the coaches, the quarterbacks, the form, the series, the report. Nothing is weighted and nobody is picked. The whole record is in front of you, with its sample sizes, and the conclusion is yours.
Each condition in this game (night, week, division, venue, line, rest) and his record under it, next to his career rate. No combining, no scoring. The count beside each bar is what tells you how much it means.
- Coaching64 situational records for the head coach, a venue × condition matrix, and every meeting against the opposing coach
- Quarterback129 game-level and 42 play-level splits (coverage shell, pressure, blitz, down and distance) layered career / last two / current
- MomentumOffensive and defensive efficiency over three horizons, and the rank entering every week
- Head to head8 meetings since 1999: the margin distribution, three horizons, and every score
- Flags16 contexts the relevance selector found live for this game: streaks, debuts, revenge, rest
Read it before kickoff and you know more about this game than the broadcast will tell you in three hours. What you do with that is yours.
Open this briefingHow this works.
A number without a sample is a rumour
Every stat ships with the count behind it. Eight games is eight games, and the product says so rather than rounding it into confidence.
The intersection is the insight
Any single split is public. The value is in the conditional stack (home AND cold AND short rest AND favored), which no box score exposes and no one computes by hand.
The record, not a verdict
Cipher IQ lays out what has happened under every condition that is live this week. The conclusion is yours.
The chart is the argument
If a visualization needs a paragraph to explain it, the chart type is wrong. Every chart is chosen for exactly one relationship.
One plan. Two ways to pay.
