The leading projections forecast this game to see the 5th-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 129.3 plays, based on the approaches of each team and game dynamics.
The Houston Texans have called the 3rd-most plays in football last year, averaging a massive 60.4 plays per game.
The pass games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.

Favors Under

Opposing teams teams have been wary to lean on the pass against the Bills, averaging the 2nd-fewest attempts in the NFL (a measly 28.3 per game) last year.

As it relates to cornerbacks in defending receivers, Buffalo's CB corps has been terrific last year, profiling as the 4th-best in the NFL.
