This game's spread implies an extreme passing game script for the Patriots, who are enormous -9-point underdogs.Given their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Patriots are forecasted by the predictive model to call just 60.7 offensive plays in this contest: the lowest number on the slate this week.The 8th-fewest plays in the NFL have been called by the New England Patriots last year (just 56.2 per game on average).The weatherman calls for 3-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, and lower ground volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
