The predictive model expects the New England Patriots as the 2nd-most run-focused team among all teams this week with a 50.2% run rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.Windy weather conditions (like the 13-mph being called for in this game) typically cause worse passing effectiveness, lower air attack volume, and increased rush volume.The projections expect Ezekiel Elliott to notch 20.0 rush attempts in this game, on balance, putting him in the 99th percentile when it comes to RBs.The predictive model expects Ezekiel Elliott to be a more important option in his offense's running game this week (62.7% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (44.0% in games he has played).
