An extreme throwing game script is implied by the Packers being a huge -8.5-point underdog in this game.The projections expect the Packers as the 2nd-most pass-heavy team on the slate this week with a 64.3% pass rate, given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may slide.Christian Watson has been less involved as a potential pass-catcher this year (76.6% Route% in games he has played) than he did last year (54.9%).The predictive model expects Christian Watson to accumulate 6.5 targets in this game, on average, placing him in the 75th percentile among wideouts.
