Why these numbers
  • Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 5% more than average, so his raw 17.6 counts as 16.8. Recent form and longer average predict about equally, so standard weighting.
  • Matchup: HOU allows 1% more to running backs than the league average, over 8 games (weighted for sample size).
  • Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 46°F, wind 12 mph, 31% chance of rain or snow, Chance Light Rain. Wind (13 mph or more): calmer this week, after wind in 5 of his last 16 games (league-wide −3% in 480 games; his own games: +29% in 5 without vs 14 with). Effect −3%. Rain and snow are shown but not measured yet.
  • Coach / team: Monken's offense vs Ryans's defense: 4 meetings since 2018, 7% above what those teams usually produce and allow (weighted for sample size). Scheme: Air Raid / spread offenses vs Cover 3 single-high (Seattle tree) defenses, 70 games since 2018, 6% above expectation (fills the weight the direct meetings do not earn).
  • Rest / bye: Not coming off a bye.
  • Game time: This game is in the early window. In his 16 games in that window (of his last 19), he was 1% below his usual, schedule-adjusted. Weighted for sample size.
  • Injuries / lineup: Quarterback: back to full strength, after being short in 7 of his last 16 games (league-wide +3% in 763 games; his own games: −69% in 10 without vs 9 with). Effect +21%. Lead running back: back to full strength, after being short in 2 of his last 16 games (league-wide +101% in 1074 games; his own games: +150% in 3 without vs 16 with). Effect −13%. Offensive line: back to full strength, after being short in 7 of his last 16 games (league-wide −4% in 1851 games). Effect +2%. HOU defensive front: Azeez Al-Shaair (Out, groin), Danielle Hunter (Out, hamstring) not expected to play (measured per player, weighted for sample size, snap share and how good he has been (Azeez Al-Shaair: his team +16% in 2 games without him vs 25 with, 6.8 tackles a game net of misses (unit starters: 3.8); Danielle Hunter: no games without him to compare, league number used, 2.7 tackles a game net of misses (unit starters: 3.8)); already the case in 5 of his last 16 games). Effect +10%. Watch: HOU defensive front: Will Anderson (Questionable, ankle).
