Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Indianapolis Colts as the 8th-most run-heavy team in the league (adjusted for context) right now with a 41.7% run rate.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the smallest volume of plays run among all games this week at 135.0 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The Indianapolis Colts have run the 6th-most plays in the league this year, totaling a monstrous 61.3 plays per game.
- Zack Moss’s running effectiveness has gotten a boost this year, totaling 4.78 yards-per-carry vs just 3.87 figure last year.
- The Los Angeles Chargers defense has produced the worst efficiency against opposing run games this year, allowing 5.54 yards-per-carry.
Cons
- The Colts are a 3.5-point underdog in this week’s contest, which points towards a passing game script.
- This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
- The Indianapolis Colts O-line grades out as the 4th-worst in the league this year at opening holes for rushers.
- The Indianapolis Colts have gone no-huddle on a mere 2.7% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the league). This deadens the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.
