Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Panthers to pass on 54.5% of their opportunities: the 7th-lowest rate on the slate this week.Our trusted projections expect this game to see the 5th-lowest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 127.2 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.Windy weather conditions (like the 14-mph being predicted in this game) typically cause worse passing effectiveness, lower air attack volume, and increased ground volume.D.J. Chark has posted significantly fewer air yards this year (62.0 per game) than he did last year (74.0 per game).The Carolina Panthers offensive line profiles as the 3rd-worst in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a negative influence on all passing offense metrics across the board.
