- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the most plays run among all games this week at 135.0 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.

- A.J. Brown has been among the top wide receivers in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging an impressive 80.0 yards per game while ranking in the 96th percentile.
Cons
