Key Factors

Favors Over

The Minnesota Vikings will have a new play-caller this season in head coach Kevin O'Connell, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 3.3% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
The Vikings are a 3-point underdog in this game, likely creating a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Minnesota Vikings as the 2nd-most pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 64.3% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The weatherman calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
The Philadelphia Eagles pass defense has given up the 7th-highest Completion% in the NFL (85.4%) to RBs since the start of last season (85.4%).

Favors Under

THE BLITZ projects this game to see the smallest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 126.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Minnesota Vikings have played in the 4th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in football since the start of last season, which ought to result in reduced pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing offense results when facing windier conditions in this week's contest.
Alexander Mattison has put up a mere 0.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: a lowly 24th percentile among RBs.
The Minnesota Vikings offensive line profiles as the 2nd-worst in the league since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a negative impact on all passing attack stats across the board.
The Philadelphia Eagles pass defense has been quite strong when opposing running backs have gotten into space, surrendering an average of 6.03 yards-after-the-catch since the start of last season: the 2nd-least in football.
