Our trusted projections expect the Patriots to run the 5th-most total plays on the slate this week with 66.5 plays, based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being projected in this game) usually mean increased passing effectiveness, higher touchdown potential, higher pass volume, and reduced run volume.In regards to protecting the passer (and the strong impact it has on all pass game metrics), the offensive line of the New England Patriots grades out as the 8th-best in the NFL this year.DeMario Douglas's 9.3 adjusted yards per target this season signifies a noteworthy boost in his pass-catching skills over last season's 7.6 figure.This year, the weak Cincinnati Bengals pass defense has given up a monstrous 67.9% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing WRs: the 7th-biggest rate in football.
