Key Factors
Favors Over
The Baltimore Ravens may rely on the pass game less in this contest (and call more carries) since they be forced to utilize backup quarterback Tyler Huntley.
With a 3-point advantage, the Ravens are favored this week, indicating more of an emphasis on rushing than their usual game plan.
The forecast calls for 2-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and reduced ground volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
Rashod Bateman's 2.6 adjusted receptions per game this year illustrates a significant improvement in his pass-catching skills over last year's 1.4 figure.
Rashod Bateman's 71.4% Adjusted Completion Rate this year signifies a noteable progression in his receiving talent over last year's 56.2% rate.
Favors Under
The model projects the Baltimore Ravens to be the 2nd-least pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 53.4% pass rate, based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.
Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is predicted by the projections to have only 123.7 plays on offense called: the 2nd-fewest out of all the games this week.
This year, the imposing Bengals defense has surrendered a mere 58.6% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing wideouts: the 3rd-lowest rate in football.
