At a -10.5-point disadvantage, the Dolphins are massive underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their typical approach.The model projects the Dolphins to call the 3rd-fewest total plays on the slate this week with 62.4 plays, accounting for their underlying propensities and game dynamics.The Miami Dolphins have run the 2nd-fewest plays in the league this year, totaling a lowly 51.8 plays per game.This year, the fierce Patriots run defense has conceded a paltry 99.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the 5th-best in the NFL.As it relates to the safeties' role in stopping the run, New England's group of safeties has been terrific this year, ranking as the best in football.
