Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Jonathan Taylor (Colts) vs Willie Gay (Dolphins) - winner: Jonathan Taylor, 5.2 yds a carry - a tone-setter on the ground.
  • Adetomiwa Adebawore (Colts) vs Jonah Savaiinaea (Dolphins) - winner: Adetomiwa Adebawore, winning 57% of reps for 0.9 sacks and 5.7 pressures a game - a one-man wrecking crew off the edge.
  • Josh Downs (Colts) vs Chris Johnson (Dolphins) - winner: Josh Downs, open on 61% of routes for 6.6/8.6, 57 yds a game - a mismatch to exploit.
In the Trenches
  • Pressure could be scarce for the Colts — a 51% win rate, 4.8 sacks and 27.1 pressures a game (Laiatu Latu (1.7 sacks, 6.8 pressures a game) the one to watch).
  • The Dolphins get stonewalled often up front, winning only 50% of reps (2.9 sacks a game), with Joshua Uche (2.3 sacks, 5.4 pressures a game) setting the tone.
Through the Air
  • Josh Downs is the engine of the Colts' passing game — 57 yds a game on 61% separation.
  • Malik Washington should find soft spots all day, open 52% of the time for 31 yds a game.
  • Few balls get past Charvarius Ward (Colts), who yields separation on 41% of routes with 0.1 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • The Colts lean on Jonathan Taylor, 15 carries for 79 yds a game at 5.2 a carry, churning off the right edge.
  • Expect a steady diet of Ollie Gordon II: 56 yds a game at 4.3 a carry for the Dolphins, with the holes opening to the right side.
