Key Factors

Favors Over

Right now, the 9th-most pass-heavy offense in the league (61.7% context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Denver Broncos.
The model projects this game to see the 3rd-largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 130.0 plays, accounting for the play styles of each team and game dynamics.
The forecast calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and lower rush volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.
Our trusted projections expect Jaylen Waddle to accrue 7.7 targets in this game, on average, ranking him in the 86th percentile among wideouts.
Jaylen Waddle grades out as one of the top WRs in the game this year, averaging an exceptional 4.0 adjusted catches per game while ranking in the 77th percentile.

Favors Under

With a 3.5-point advantage, the Broncos are favored this week, indicating more of an emphasis on running than their usual game plan.
The 7th-fewest plays in the league have been run by the Broncos this year (only 53.5 per game on average).
Opposing quarterbacks teams have been afraid to test the pass defense of the Los Angeles Chargers, averaging the 3rd-fewest attempts in the NFL (just 29.0 per game) this year.
Jaylen Waddle's 57.2 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced stat that measures high-value offensive usage) has been quite a bit worse this season than it was last season at 65.0.
The Denver Broncos offensive line grades out as the 2nd-worst in the NFL this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful effect on all passing attack statistics across the board.
