Key Factors

Favors Over

The projections expect this game to have the 2nd-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 132.5 plays, accounting for the traits of each team and game dynamics.
This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
Darren Waller places in the 87th percentile among TE WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that weighs high-value offensive volume) with a colossal 34.0 mark since the start of last season.
When talking about protecting the quarterback (and the positive effect it has on all passing offense stats), the offensive line of the Carolina Panthers ranks as the 7th-best in the NFL since the start of last season.

Favors Under

The 10th-smallest volume of plays in the NFL have been called by the Carolina Panthers since the start of last season (just 55.1 per game on average).
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 30.0 pass attempts per game versus the Falcons defense last year: 8th-fewest in the league.
With a feeble 69.3% Adjusted Catch Rate (9th percentile) since the start of last season, Darren Waller rates among the worst possession receivers in the NFL when it comes to TEs.
Last year, the fierce Falcons defense has conceded a paltry 69.6% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing TEs: the 5th-lowest rate in football.
The Falcons defensive tackles rank as the 3rd-best collection of DTs in the NFL since the start of last season when it comes to rushing the passer.
