The Seahawks are a 6.5-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a running game script.Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Seahawks to pass on 62.8% of their downs: the 2nd-greatest rate on the slate this week.Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being projected in this game) generally mean increased passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and reduced run volume.The Philadelphia Eagles defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, inciting opposing quarterbacks to attempt the most passes in the league (41.6 per game) this year.The model projects Jaxon Smith-Njigba to notch 6.8 targets this week, on balance, ranking him in the 78th percentile when it comes to wide receivers.
