Key Factors

Favors Over

At the present time, the 5th-most pass-oriented team in the league in the red zone (59.9% adjusted for context) according to the model is the Panthers.
The projections expect this game to have the 2nd-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 132.5 plays, accounting for the traits of each team and game dynamics.
This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
When talking about protecting the quarterback (and the positive effect it has on all passing offense stats), the offensive line of the Carolina Panthers ranks as the 7th-best in the NFL since the start of last season.
The Falcons defense has yielded the 4th-most receiving touchdowns in the league to wide receivers: 1.18 per game last year.

Favors Under

The 10th-smallest volume of plays in the NFL have been called by the Carolina Panthers since the start of last season (just 55.1 per game on average).
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 30.0 pass attempts per game versus the Falcons defense last year: 8th-fewest in the league.
While John Metchie III has been responsible for 9.6% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played last year, the model projects him to be a much smaller piece of Carolina's pass game near the goal line in this week's game at 0.3%.
Opposing teams have completed passes at the 4th-lowest level in football against the Atlanta Falcons defense last year (66.4% Adjusted Completion%).
As it relates to the safeties' role in stopping the run, Atlanta's collection of safeties has been exceptional last year, profiling as the 2nd-best in the NFL.
