At a -3-point disadvantage, the Texans are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of an emphasis on throwing than their usual approach.The predictive model expects the Houston Texans as the 3rd-least run-centric team among all teams this week with a 38.2% run rate, accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (read: no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may slide.C.J. Stroud grades out as one of the worst QBs in the NFL at generating extra rushing yardage, averaging a measly 0.67 yards-after-contact this year while ranking in the 11th percentile.The opposing side have rushed for the 9th-fewest adjusted yards in football (just 99.0 per game) against the Indianapolis Colts defense this year.
