This week's spread suggests a passing game script for the Packers, who are -3-point underdogs.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Packers to pass on 61.9% of their opportunities: the 8th-greatest rate on the slate this week.Given the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is projected by the model to have 130.9 total plays called: the 4th-most out of all the games this week.The pass games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may fall-off.The Lions defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, enticing opposing offenses to attempt the 5th-most passes in the league (38.2 per game) this year.
