At a -14.5-point disadvantage, the Dolphins are massive underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their typical approach.Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Miami Dolphins to pass on 58.2% of their downs: the 10th-highest clip on the slate this week.The weather forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and lower run volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.Our trusted projections expect Cedrick Wilson Jr. to be a much bigger part of his team's pass game in this week's game (10.3% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (3.2% in games he has played).This year, the porous New England Patriots pass defense has conceded a whopping 67.2% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing wideouts: the 7th-biggest rate in the league.
