Matchup Breakdown
How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulationsKeys to the Game
- David Montgomery (Texans) vs Zack Baun (Eagles) - winner: Zack Baun, holding him to 2.8 yds a carry - running into a wall.
In the Trenches
- The Texans may have to manufacture pressure, winning 51% up front for 7.9 sacks a game (Will Anderson Jr. (4.6 sacks, 10.2 pressures a game) the one to watch).
- The Texans' quarterback should have time; the Eagles win just 52% of reps for 5.8 sacks a game, with Jonathan Greenard (3.5 sacks, 9.7 pressures a game) setting the tone.
Through the Air
- Nico Collins headlines the Texans' receiving corps — 6.7 catches for 52 yds a game on 53% separation.
- DeVonta Smith headlines the Eagles' receiving corps — 6.1 catches for 55 yds a game on 51% separation.
- Receivers won't find much room against Jalen Pitre (Texans): 33% separation allowed — and 0.1 picks a game.
On the Ground
- David Montgomery is the workhorse for the Texans, churning 36 yds a game at 2.8 a carry, finding room off right tackle against a stingy front.
- Saquon Barkley is the workhorse for the Eagles, churning 39 yds a game at 3.6 a carry.
