Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Colts to pass on 48.9% of their plays: the 3rd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.The 2nd-lowest number of plays in the league have been called by the Colts this year (a mere 53.6 per game on average).The weather forecast calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and lower rush volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.This year, the imposing Broncos pass defense has allowed the 7th-least yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing WRs: a meager 3.7 YAC.When it comes to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Denver's CB corps has been excellent this year, grading out as the 4th-best in the league.
