Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pass on 60.4% of their opportunities: the 8th-greatest frequency among all teams this week.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (4-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may slide.Opposing QBs have averaged 42.5 pass attempts per game versus the Green Bay Packers defense this year: most in the league.This year, the shaky Packers defense has been gouged for a monstrous 0.83 receiving TDs per game to opposing TEs: the 3rd-largest rate in the league.The opposing side have rushed for the 6th-fewest TDs in football (0.50 per game) vs. the Packers defense this year.
