The Patriots are a giant 7-point underdog this week, which points towards an extreme passing game script.The leading projections forecast the Patriots to be the 7th-least run-oriented team among all teams this week with a 37.4% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.Our trusted projections expect Rhamondre Stevenson to be a less important option in his team's running game in this contest (40.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (53.5% in games he has played).Cowboys defensive ends profile as the best DE corps in the league since the start of last season in regard to stopping the run.
