Right now, the 10th-quickest paced team in football (context-neutralized) according to the projections is the Los Angeles Rams.
The forecast calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, and reduced rush volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
In this week's contest, Matthew Stafford is forecasted by the predictive model to average the 7th-most pass attempts among all quarterbacks with 36.8.
When it comes to pass-blocking (and the positive impact it has on all pass game metrics), the offensive line of the Rams grades out as the 10th-best in the league this year.
Favors Under
