At a -3-point disadvantage, the Packers are underdogs in this game, implying more of a reliance on passing than their usual approach.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Packers to pass on 60.4% of their plays: the 8th-highest rate on the slate this week.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.Josh Jacobs rates in the 88th percentile among RB WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that calculates high-value offensive volume) with a superb 16.7 mark this year.The Lions linebackers profile as the 2nd-best LB corps in football this year with their run defense.
