The Texans are a 5.5-point underdog in this week's game, likely creating a passing game script.Our trusted projections expect the Texans as the 3rd-most pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 64.3% pass rate, based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.Opposing QBs have averaged 39.9 pass attempts per game versus the Ravens defense this year: 2nd-most in the NFL.The model projects Nico Collins to accumulate 10.9 targets in this week's contest, on balance, putting him in the 98th percentile among wideouts.
