Russell Wilson Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 4.5 (-132/+102).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Broncos feature a new play-caller this season in head coach Sean Payton, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to lean 1.4% more towards rushing than it did last season (in a neutral context).
Given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Denver Broncos to run on 46.8% of their downs: the 6th-greatest frequency on the slate this week.
Russell Wilson isn't afraid to run the ball, accounting for 15.3% of his team's carries this year, placing him in the 81st percentile when it comes to QBs.
Favors Under
Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is expected by the predictive model to have only 126.4 offensive plays run: the 2nd-lowest number on the slate this week.
The Denver Broncos have called the 2nd-fewest plays in football this year, totaling just 53.2 plays per game.
The weather forecast calls for 3-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and reduced run volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
When it comes to the defensive tackles' role in run defense, Cleveland's collection of DTs has been one of the most skilled this year, profiling as the 9th-best in the league.
