An extreme passing game script is indicated by the Cardinals being a big -11.5-point underdog in this week's game.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Cardinals to run on 37.5% of their plays: the 3rd-lowest frequency on the slate this week.The model projects the Cardinals to call the fewest plays on offense among all teams this week with 61.5 plays, based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may decline.The Arizona Cardinals O-line grades out as the 6th-worst in the league last year in run-blocking.
