- The predictive model expects this game to see the highest number of plays run on the slate this week at 133.4 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.

- The predictive model expects Travis Kelce to accumulate 9.7 targets this week, on balance, ranking him in the 100th percentile when it comes to TEs.
Cons

- The Ravens pass defense has been quite strong when opposing TEs have gotten into space, giving up an average of 4.23 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 8th-fewest in the league.
