A rushing game script is suggested by the Patriots being a 5-point favorite in this game.The leading projections forecast the Patriots as the 2nd-least pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 53.5% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.At the moment, the 5th-most sluggish paced offense in the NFL (in a neutral context) according to the projection model is the New England Patriots.Opposing QBs have averaged 27.0 pass attempts per game versus the Falcons defense this year: fewest in the NFL.While DeMario Douglas has earned 15.2% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the predictive model expects him to be a much smaller piece of New England's passing attack near the end zone in this week's game at 8.7%.
