The Panthers are a heavy 7-point underdog this week, which points towards an extreme passing game script.The predictive model expects this game to have the 4th-smallest number of plays run on the slate this week at 126.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The pass games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being forecasted in this game, while run volume may drop-off.Chuba Hubbard has been much less involved in his team's run game this year (35.9% Carry Share in games he has played) than he was last year (71.1%).When it comes to the defensive ends' role in defending against the run, Seattle's group of DEs has been phenomenal this year, projecting as the 8th-best in the NFL.
