Key Factors

Favors Over

The Colts are a 4.5-point underdog in this week's game, likely leading to a passing game script.
This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 35.1 pass attempts per game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars defense since the start of last season: 7th-most in the league.
Opposing quarterbacks have thrown for the 10th-most yards in the league (232.0 per game) versus the Jacksonville Jaguars defense since the start of last season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has not been good when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, surrendering an average of 5.11 yards-after-the-catch since the start of last season: the 7th-most in the NFL.

Favors Under

The Indianapolis Colts boast a new play-caller this season in head coach Shane Steichen, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 2.9% more towards rushing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
THE BLITZ projects the Indianapolis Colts to be the 6th-least pass-centric offense among all teams this week with a 54.8% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects the Indianapolis Colts as the 6th-slowest paced defense in the league (context-neutralized) at the moment, with opposing offenses averaging 28.48 seconds per snap.
THE BLITZ projects Anthony Richardson to attempt 32.6 passes in this contest, on average: the 10th-least of all quarterbacks.
The Indianapolis Colts offensive line grades out as the 8th-worst in football since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a negative impact on all passing game statistics across the board.
