Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Los Angeles Rams to pass on 61.1% of their chances: the 5th-highest rate among all teams this week.Opposing squads have played at the 10th-quickest pace in football (adjusted for context) against the Rams defense this year, averaging 27.01 seconds per play.The weather report calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means increased pass volume, and reduced run volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.In this contest, Matthew Stafford is forecasted by the model to wind up with the 6th-most pass attempts out of all quarterbacks with 36.7. The Steelers defense has allowed the 7th-most TDs through the air in football: 1.60 per game this year.
