Key Factors

Favors Over

This game's line suggests an extreme throwing game script for the Cowboys, who are big -7.5-point underdogs.
Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Dallas Cowboys to pass on 61.4% of their chances: the 4th-greatest frequency among all teams this week.
At the moment, the 8th-quickest paced team in football (adjusted for context) according to our trusted projection set is the Cowboys.
The leading projections forecast George Pickens to garner 7.4 targets in this game, on average, ranking him in the 84th percentile when it comes to wideouts.
When it comes to air yards, George Pickens grades out in the lofty 95th percentile among wideouts last year, totaling a remarkable 97.0 per game.

Favors Under

Dallas's passing stats last year may be artificially propped up a bit (and running stats too low) as a result of playing the 9th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league. We figure to be able to count on some correction with windier weather this week.
Opposing QBs have averaged 31.1 pass attempts per game vs. the Eagles defense last year: 10th-fewest in the NFL.
While George Pickens has garnered 26.1% of his offense's targets in games he has played last year, the model projects him to be a much smaller piece of Dallas's passing attack this week at 21.0%.
The Cowboys O-line profiles as the 10th-worst in the NFL last year in protecting the passer, which has a harmful influence on all passing offense stats across the board.
With a poor 59.1% Adjusted Catch Rate (18th percentile) last year, George Pickens ranks among the most hard-handed receivers in football when it comes to wideouts.
