This week's spread implies a passing game script for the Cowboys, who are -6.5-point underdogs.Based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Cowboys to run on 35.5% of their downs: the 3rd-lowest rate on the slate this week.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is expected by the projection model to have only 125.3 plays on offense run: the 5th-lowest number on the slate this week.The passing games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may slide.When it comes to the safeties' role in run defense, Green Bay's collection of safeties has been phenomenal since the start of last season, projecting as the 3rd-best in the league.
