At a -3-point disadvantage, the Packers are underdogs in this game, implying more of a reliance on passing than their usual approach.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Packers to pass on 60.4% of their plays: the 8th-highest rate on the slate this week.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.The predictive model expects Christian Watson to garner 7.0 targets in this game, on balance, ranking him in the 82nd percentile when it comes to wideouts.Christian Watson's 52.7 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that examines high-value offensive usage) has been significantly better this season than it was last season at 38.5.
