A passing game script is implied by the Falcons being a -3-point underdog in this week's contest.Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Atlanta Falcons to pass on 60.6% of their downs: the 7th-greatest clip among all teams this week.With a 62.5% rate of throwing the ball near the end zone (in a neutral context) this year, the 9th-most pass-centric offense in football under these circumstances has been the Falcons.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this game is predicted by the projections to have 131.9 offensive plays run: the 3rd-most out of all the games this week.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may drop-off.
