Pros
- The Broncos are a 3-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to a passing game script.

- With an exceptional 92.0% Route Participation% (88th percentile) this year, Courtland Sutton ranks among the WRs with the biggest workloads in the league.

Cons

- At the present time, the 6th-least pass-oriented offense in the NFL (58.4% in a neutral context) according to the projection model is the Broncos.
