Key Factors
Favors Over
The Denver Broncos boast a new play-caller this season in head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 3.8% more towards passing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
THE BLITZ projects the Denver Broncos offense to be the 7th-quickest paced team in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the moment, averaging 27.04 seconds per snap.
THE BLITZ projects Latavius Murray to accrue 4.3 targets in this game, on average, ranking in the 92nd percentile among running backs.
THE BLITZ projects Latavius Murray to be a more integral piece of his offense's passing attack this week (13.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (7.2% in games he has played).
The Carolina Panthers safeties rank as the 5th-worst group of safeties in football this year in pass coverage.
Favors Under
The weatherman calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and increased run volume) and decreased passing effectiveness.
Latavius Murray has been among the bottom pass-game running backs this year, averaging a measly 0.2 receptions per game while grading out in the 3rd percentile among RBs.
The Carolina Panthers defensive front has gotten pressure on opposing QBs a measly 2.31 seconds after the snap (on average), grading out as the best in football since the start of last season.
The Denver Broncos have gone no-huddle on a measly 3.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (8th-least in the NFL). This slows down the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.
