With a 4.5-point advantage, the Commanders are favored this week, suggesting more of a focus on running than their normal game plan.Given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Commanders to pass on 52.4% of their chances: the 3rd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.The predictive model expects this game to see the 5th-smallest number of plays run out of all the games this week at 128.2 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.Opposing offenses teams have been hesitant to test the pass defense of the Giants, totaling the 5th-fewest attempts in the NFL (a mere 29.6 per game) this year.This year, the strong New York Giants pass defense has allowed the 4th-least yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing WRs: a mere 3.5 YAC.
