Pros
- The Texans are a 5.5-point favorite this week, which points towards a rushing game script.
- At the present time, the 4th-fastest paced offense in the league (in a neutral context) according to the projection model is the Houston Texans.
- In this contest, Devin Singletary is projected by the model to position himself in the 91st percentile when it comes to running backs with 18.1 rush attempts.
- While Devin Singletary has been responsible for 46.0% of his team’s rush attempts in games he has played this year, our trusted projections expect him to be a more important option in Houston’s running game in this contest at 66.8%.
- Devin Singletary has generated 50.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this year, one of the biggest figures in football when it comes to running backs (77th percentile).
Cons
- This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- When talking about blocking for ball-carriers (and the importance it has on all run game statistics), the offensive line of the Houston Texans profiles as the worst in football last year.
- The Titans defense owns the 7th-best efficiency against opposing run games this year, allowing just 3.99 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC).
