The Philadelphia Eagles boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, and the leading projections forecast their pass/run mix to lean 1.1% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).This game's spread implies a throwing game script for the Eagles, who are -3.5-point underdogs.The passing games of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop.Kenneth Gainwell has totaled a massive 5.0 air yards per game this year: 97th percentile when it comes to RBs. (That might not seem very overwhelming, but most RBs have negative air yards due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage).The Philadelphia offensive line profiles as the best in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a positive influence on all pass attack metrics across the board.
