Our trusted projections expect the Carolina Panthers offensive strategy to tilt 6.6% more towards the passing game than it did last year (context-neutralized) with offensive coordinator Thomas Brown now calling the plays.The Panthers are a 3.5-point underdog in this week's contest, indicating a passing game script.The 3rd-most plays in football have been run by the Carolina Panthers this year (a monstrous 62.1 per game on average).When it comes to air yards, Miles Sanders ranks in the towering 85th percentile among running backs this year, totaling a remarkable 2.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more remarkable than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).With a RATE1-RATE2 point gain in WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that measures high-value offensive volume) from last season to this one, Miles Sanders has been more heavily relied on in his offense's air attack.
