The Steelers are a 3-point underdog in this week's contest, likely creating a passing game script.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pass on 61.4% of their opportunities: the 4th-highest frequency among all teams this week.Calm weather conditions (like the 1-mph wind being predicted in this game) typically lead to better passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased pass volume, and lower ground volume.The model projects Aaron Rodgers to attempt 35.8 passes in this week's game, on average: the 7th-most among all quarterbacks.When talking about protecting the quarterback (and the positive effect it has on all pass attack metrics), the offensive line of the Steelers ranks as the 8th-best in the league this year.
