With a 7-point advantage, the Patriots are heavily favored in this week's game, implying much more of a focus on running than their standard approach.The projections expect the Patriots to be the least pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 53.4% pass rate, given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.Based on their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Patriots are expected by the predictive model to call just 62.8 offensive plays in this game: the lowest number among all teams this week.This year, the poor Giants run defense has been torched for a massive 1.42 TDs on the ground per game to opposing squads: the biggest rate in football.The New York Giants safeties project as the 32nd-worst unit in football this year in regard to defending the run.
