The leading projections forecast the Panthers offense to tilt 5.6% more towards the passing attack than it did last year (in a neutral context) with offensive coordinator Thomas Brown now calling the plays.This game's line suggests a throwing game script for the Panthers, who are -3.5-point underdogs.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this game is anticipated by the projection model to see 132.3 total plays called: the 3rd-most on the slate this week.The 4th-most plays in the NFL have been called by the Carolina Panthers this year (a colossal 64.0 per game on average).The Houston Texans defense has been something of pass funnel this year, causing opposing QBs to attempt the 9th-most passes in the league (38.5 per game) this year.
