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.Our trusted projections expect the Packers to be the 4th-least run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 42.1% run rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The 3rd-lowest number of plays in football have been run by the Green Bay Packers this year (a mere 55.7 per game on average).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.This year, the formidable Philadelphia Eagles run defense has conceded a mere 101.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the 8th-best in the league.
