The predictive model expects this game to have the largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 140.3 plays, given the approaches of each team and game dynamics.

The 10th-largest volume of plays in football have been called by the New Orleans Saints this year (a colossal 59.1 per game on average).

The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still “weather” conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may go down.

In this week’s game, Juwan Johnson is projected by the projection model to secure a spot in the 88th percentile when it comes to TEs with 5.9 targets.

Juwan Johnson has accumulated quite a few more air yards this season (41.0 per game) than he did last season (31.0 per game).

This week, Chris Olave is predicted by the projection model to position himself in the 95th percentile among WRs with 9.2 targets.

Chris Olave has put up significantly more air yards this year (108.0 per game) than he did last year (57.0 per game).

The Jets pass defense has shown poor efficiency this year, giving up 8.18 adjusted yards-per-target: the 6th-most in the league.

The New York Jets linebackers profile as the 5th-worst group of LBs in the NFL this year in pass coverage.

Opposing teams teams have been unwilling to rely on the passing game too much against the New York Jets, averaging the 9th-fewest attempts in the NFL (a lowly 31.6 per game) this year.

Juwan Johnson’s 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this season represents a substantial reduction in his effectiveness in picking up extra yardage over last season’s 3.9% figure.

Chris Olave’s 65.2% Adjusted Completion% this season illustrates a noteable decrease in his pass-catching skills over last season’s 73.7% mark.

Chris Olave’s pass-catching effectiveness has diminished this year, totaling a measly 6.78 adjusted yards-per-target compared to a 10.00 figure last year.
