Pros

  • A rushing game script is suggested by the Texans being a 3.5-point favorite in this week’s contest.
  • The model projects the Texans as the 5th-least pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 53.0% pass rate, based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.
  • Opposing teams have averaged 31.0 pass attempts per game vs. the Carolina Panthers defense this year: 3rd-fewest in the league.
