The leading projections forecast the Lions to call the 8th-most total plays on the slate this week with 65.0 plays, given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing efficiency.While Kalif Raymond has received 9.2% of his team's targets in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a less important option in Detroit's passing attack in this contest at 3.0%.The Detroit Lions O-line ranks as the 3rd-best in the NFL this year in protecting the QB, which has a strong effect on all air attack statistics across the board.The Carolina Panthers pass defense has given up the 2nd-highest Adjusted Completion% in the league (71.1%) vs. wide receivers since the start of last season (71.1%).
