At a -4.5-point disadvantage, the Colts are underdogs in this week's contest, indicating more of a focus on moving the ball through the air than their normal approach.The model projects this game to have the 4th-highest number of plays run on the slate this week at 133.5 plays, based on the approaches of each team and game dynamics.The Denver Broncos defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, tempting opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 3rd-most passes in football (38.6 per game) this year.Our trusted projections expect Michael Pittman to notch 6.9 targets in this week's game, on balance, ranking him in the 78th percentile when it comes to wideouts.When it comes to pocket protection (and the strong impact it has on all passing attack metrics), the offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts ranks as the 5th-best in the league this year.
