You know exactly what they’re doing. They’re justifying what they already believe by looking up only the stats that support it and ignoring those that don’t (confirmation bias).
Then, when you present stats or metrics that don’t support their argument, they’ll say something like “stats don’t matter. We just have the better team. You only have the better QB. We’re gonna smack him around. He hasn’t seen a defense like this before. Just you wait.”
