This week's spread implies a passing game script for the Cowboys, who are -6.5-point underdogs.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Cowboys to pass on 64.5% of their chances: the 3rd-greatest clip among all teams this week.With a 62.4% rate of throwing the ball near the end zone (context-neutralized) this year, the 9th-most pass-oriented team in the NFL under these circumstances has been the Cowboys.The 2nd-highest number of plays in football have been called by the Dallas Cowboys since the start of last season (a monstrous 61.4 per game on average).The passing games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may slide.
