The Texans rank as the 6th-most pass-centric team in football (in a neutral context) last year with a 63.3% pass rate.Given the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is expected by the model to have 132.1 plays on offense run: the 2nd-most among all games this week.The forecast calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and lower ground volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.When talking about air yards, Nick Chubb ranks in the towering 82nd percentile among RBs last year, averaging an impressive 1.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it sounds since most RBs average negative air yards).Last year, the poor Los Angeles Rams pass defense has conceded a staggering 89.9% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing RBs: the 4th-highest rate in the league.
