Key Factors

Favors Over

The Colts are a 3.5-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.
THE BLITZ projects Deon Jackson to notch 3.1 targets in this week's game, on average, putting him in the 83rd percentile among running backs.
Deon Jackson has been an integral part of his team's passing attack, garnering a Target Share of 8.3% since the start of last season, which puts him in the 76th percentile among RBs.

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 54.4% 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.
Deon Jackson has accrued a paltry -1.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: just 20th percentile among RBs.
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.
