Broncos vs. Patriots

The public has bet the OVER up to 49.5 (-112) after it opened @ 43.5 (-114).
Pros
- This week’s line suggests a passing game script for the Patriots, who are -6.5-point underdogs.
- In this week’s contest, Demario Douglas is projected by our trusted projection set to slot into the 83rd percentile when it comes to wideouts with 7.5 targets.
- The leading projections forecast Demario Douglas to be a much bigger part of his offense’s pass game this week (24.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (16.0% in games he has played).
- This year, the shaky Broncos defense has surrendered the 6th-most adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing wideouts: a monstrous 8.91 yards.
- The Broncos pass defense has been particularly weak when opposing WRs have gotten into space, yielding an average of 5.64 yards-after-the-catch this year: the most in football.
Cons
- The Patriots have been the 7th-least pass-heavy offense in the league (adjusted for context) this year with a 58.5% pass rate.
- The leading projections forecast the Patriots to run the fewest plays on offense on the slate this week with 61.8 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- The New England Patriots offensive line ranks as the 9th-worst in the league this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative effect on all passing attack statistics across the board.
- With a feeble 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (1st percentile) this year, Demario Douglas rates among the leading WRs in the league in the NFL in the open field.
