Pros
- The model projects the Bills to be the 5th-most pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 61.2% pass rate, based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.
- The model projects Josh Allen to attempt 37.4 passes in this week’s game, on balance: the 4th-most among all QBs.
- In regards to pocket protection (and the positive effect it has on all passing attack metrics), the O-line of the Bills grades out as the 9th-best in the league this year.
- With an exceptional total of 281.0 adjusted passing yards per game (95th percentile), Josh Allen places as one of the top passers in the league this year.
- Josh Allen’s 69.7% Adjusted Completion% this year signifies a noteworthy boost in his throwing accuracy over last year’s 64.2% mark.
Cons

- Opposing quarterbacks have passed for the 6th-fewest yards in the league (just 210.0 adjusted yards per game) versus the Kansas City Chiefs defense this year.
