Pros
- The predictive model expects the Texans as the 8th-most run-focused team on the slate this week with a 44.8% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- At just 26.94 seconds per play, the Houston Texans offense ranks as the 9th-fastest paced in the league (in a neutral context) this year.
- In this week’s contest, Devin Singletary is projected by the projections to land in the 85th percentile among RBs with 14.8 carries.
- Devin Singletary has received 41.8% of his offense’s carries this year, putting him in the 79th percentile when it comes to running backs.
- The Tennessee Titans defensive tackles rank as the 5th-worst collection of DTs in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
Cons
- At a -3-point disadvantage, the Texans are underdogs in this game, implying more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their typical game plan.
- As it relates to opening holes for runners (and the impact it has on all run game statistics), the offensive line of the Texans grades out as the 2nd-worst in football last year.
- The Titans defense has produced the 7th-best efficiency against opposing running games this year, allowing just 4.00 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC).
