The Cardinals may rely on the pass game less in this contest (and hand the ball off more) because they be forced to use backup QB Jacoby Brissett.This week's line suggests a passing game script for the Cardinals, who are -6.5-point underdogs.The predictive model expects the Cardinals as the 2nd-most pass-focused offense on the slate this week with a 63.5% pass rate, based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.The 10th-most plays in the league have been run by the Cardinals this year (a massive 58.5 per game on average).The passing games of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop.
