How washington Will Try To Win ::
The 2-5 Football Team is coming into Week 8 with quickly fading hopes for their season. Ron Rivera is one of the more aggressive head coaches in the league but it’s hard to win games in the NFL with a replacement-level QB. The WFT is fresh off losses to the Packers/Chiefs/Saints, none of which were competitive contests. Regardless of their roster’s shortcomings, this coaching staff will “try to win” and has thrown the ball nearly 40 times a game during those three losses. The Football Team pushes the pace (6th situational neutral), and throw a lot doing so, but they just don’t have the talent to be an above-average team.
This week they draw a disappointing Broncos defense that has been attackable on the ground (26th in DVOA) and through the air (24th in DOVA). With no clear path of least resistance to tilt the game plan heavily away from their usual strategy, expect the Football Team to come out playing fast and aggressively, with the hopes that something will click. Rivera knows that his defense hasn’t been able to stop anyone and that his offense will need to score points if his team is going to be in games.
How denver Will Try To Win ::
The 3-4 Broncos come into this game riding a four-game losing streak against the Ravens/Steelers/Raiders/Browns. In a division that includes the Chiefs and Chargers, this Broncos team already has to be in must-win mode. The Broncos prefer to play slow (29th in situational neutral pace) which teams typically do when they want to “hide their QB” and allow their defenses to win games. This Broncos team profiled that way to begin the year, but their defense has been disappointing, and Teddy Bridgewater has been what he’s always been, good enough. The Broncos would be wise to give Bridgewater a little more leeway to run a quicker, more aggressive offense, designed to score the points that it requires to win with a vulnerable defense. There is no indication that the Broncos plan to change their game plan, which means we can expect a slow-paced, balanced offense.
Likeliest Game Flow ::
This game has a low 43-point total, mostly because of the way the Broncos play. The Football Team is a team that is likely to produce shootouts (or at least good DFS scores). That’s because they have a defense that can’t stop anyone through the air (29th in DVOA) while being strong against the run (8th in DVOA), creating one of the clearest pass funnels in the league. The Washington Football Team is also a fast-paced, aggressive offense, that will keep trying to fight back. When the WFT faces a team with an offense that we can project to throw successfully against them, it’s easy to target players in that game. Unfortunately, the Broncos are not a team we (or Vegas) can expect to do anything other than suck the life out of this game. The most likely game flow is both teams struggle to move the ball, creating a close, low-scoring contest.
