Key Factors
Favors Over
Given their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Lions are anticipated by the projections to run 67.8 total plays in this contest: the 2nd-most among all teams this week.
The air attacks of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (0-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may decline.
Since the start of last season, the deficient Carolina Panthers defense has yielded the 4th-most adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing tight ends: a staggering 8.38 yards.
Favors Under
The Lions are a 4-point favorite in this week's contest, likely leading to a running game script.
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 30.3 pass attempts per game versus the Panthers defense since the start of last season: 9th-fewest in the NFL.
Brock Wright's 4.9 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that measures high-value offensive usage) has been significantly lower this season than it was last season at 10.4.
The Detroit Lions offensive line grades out as the 9th-worst in football since the start of last season in pass protection, which has a harmful influence on all pass game statistics across the board.
Since the start of last season, the formidable Panthers pass defense has yielded the 10th-least yards-after-the-catch in the NFL to opposing TEs: a feeble 0.6 YAC.
