The Steelers are a 3-point underdog this week, which points towards a passing game script.Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pass on 60.7% of their plays: the highest frequency among all teams this week.Given the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is forecasted by the projections to see 133.5 offensive plays run: the most on the slate this week.When talking about pass protection (and the positive effect it has on all passing attack metrics), the O-line of the Steelers ranks as the 3rd-best in the league this year.This year, the stout Texans run defense has allowed a measly 0.76 rushing touchdowns per game to opposing squads: the 8th-smallest rate in football.
