Key Factors

Favors Over

The Commanders have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to skew 14.0% more towards passing than it did last season (in a neutral context).
Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Washington Commanders to pass on 61.0% of their opportunities: the 5th-highest rate on the slate this week.
Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is projected by our trusted projection set to have 130.3 total plays called: the 5th-highest number on the slate this week.
The 10th-highest number of plays in football have been run by the Commanders this year (a monstrous 60.0 per game on average).
John Bates's 80.5% Adjusted Completion Rate this year marks a noteable gain in his pass-catching talent over last year's 67.0% rate.

Favors Under

An extreme running game script is implied by the Commanders being a huge 7.5-point favorite this week.
Opposing offenses teams have been unwilling to pass too much against the New York Giants, totaling the 8th-fewest attempts in football (just 33.7 per game) this year.
John Bates ranks as one of the bottom TEs in football at picking up extra yardage, averaging a lowly 3.15 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year while grading out in the 16th percentile.
This year, the daunting Giants defense has conceded a measly 61.1% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing TEs: the best rate in the league.
As it relates to linebackers in covering receivers, New York's group of LBs has been phenomenal this year, grading out as the 9th-best in the NFL.
