The Eagles are a 3.5-point favorite in this week's game, indicating a running game script.Given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Eagles to pass on 51.0% of their downs: the 3rd-lowest rate among all teams this week.The model projects this game to see the fewest plays run among all games this week at 122.9 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The leading projections forecast DeVonta Smith to be much less involved in his team's passing attack near the goal line this week (23.6% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (33.3% in games he has played).The Eagles offensive line grades out as the 9th-worst in the NFL since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a negative impact on all passing game stats across the board.
