Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • David Montgomery (Texans) vs Kyle Hamilton (Ravens) - winner: Kyle Hamilton, holding him to 2.1 yds a carry - bottled up between the tackles.
  • Nico Collins (Texans) vs Chidobe Awuzie (Ravens) - winner: Nico Collins, open on 59% of routes for 7.9/9.4, 73 yds a game - a matchup to attack.
  • Zay Flowers (Ravens) vs Derek Stingley Jr. (Texans) - winner: Zay Flowers, open on 59% of routes for 5.8/8.5, 60 yds a game - a mismatch to exploit.
In the Trenches
  • The Texans may have to manufacture pressure, winning 52% up front for 6.5 sacks a game (Will Anderson Jr. (3.3 sacks, 9.0 pressures a game) the one to watch).
  • The Ravens get stonewalled often up front, winning only 50% of reps (4.6 sacks a game), led by Trenton Simpson (1.2 sacks, 6.9 pressures a game).
Through the Air
  • Nico Collins should find soft spots all day, open 59% of the time for 73 yds a game.
  • Zay Flowers is the engine of the Ravens' passing game — 60 yds a game on 59% separation.
  • Jalen Pitre (Texans) is a problem in coverage, holding his man open on just 37% of routes — and 0.1 picks a game.
On the Ground
  • Expect a steady diet of David Montgomery: 26 yds a game at 2.1 a carry for the Texans.
  • Derrick Henry is the workhorse for the Ravens, churning 67 yds a game at 3.8 a carry, finding room to the right side.
