At a -5.5-point disadvantage, the Packers are underdogs this week, indicating more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their standard game plan.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is forecasted by the projections to see 131.8 offensive plays called: the 2nd-highest number on the slate this week.The passing attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while run volume may go down.When talking about protecting the quarterback (and the positive effect it has on all pass attack metrics), the offensive line of the Packers ranks as the 5th-best in football this year.Jordan Love checks in as one of the most effective quarterbacks in football this year, averaging an outstanding 8.23 adjusted yards-per-target while grading out in the 91st percentile.
