The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being projected in this game, while ground volume may slide.The Steelers defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, allowing opposing teams to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the NFL (40.7 per game) this year.The model projects Michael Pittman to be much more involved in his team's passing game near the goal line this week (22.6% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (15.6% in games he has played).Michael Pittman rates in the 78th percentile for wide receiver WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that examines high-value offensive involvement) with an impressive 52.2 mark this year.As it relates to pass-blocking (and the positive impact it has on all air attack metrics), the offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts grades out as the best in the league this year.
