The Eagles are a 6.5-point favorite in this week's game, which points towards a running game script.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Philadelphia Eagles to pass on 52.1% of their plays: the 4th-lowest frequency among all teams this week.Opposing offenses teams have been hesitant to lean on the pass against the New York Jets, averaging the 10th-fewest attempts in football (a mere 34.6 per game) this year.Kenneth Gainwell's pass-game effectiveness has declined this season, totaling just 3.71 adjusted yards-per-target vs a 5.75 mark last season.As it relates to linebackers in covering pass-catchers, New York's collection of LBs has been fantastic this year, grading out as the best in football.
