The New England Patriots have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and the model projects their pass/run mix to lean 4.4% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).The predictive model expects the New England Patriots to be the 7th-most pass-focused offense in football (in a neutral context) at the present time with a 62.7% pass rate.Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being forecasted in this game) generally correlate with better passing efficiency, higher touchdown potential, higher pass volume, and reduced run volume.Kayshon Boutte has run a route on 87.0% of his offense's passing plays since the start of last season, putting him in the 81st percentile among wideouts.The Dolphins pass defense has been gouged for the 2nd-highest Adjusted Completion% in football (69.8%) vs. wide receivers since the start of last season (69.8%).
