The Panthers are a 3-point underdog in this week's contest, likely leading to a passing game script.The 7th-most plays in the league have been run by the Panthers this year (a colossal 59.8 per game on average).The Cowboys defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, leading opposing offenses to attempt the 6th-most passes in football (40.2 per game) this year.This week, Rico Dowdle is expected by the model to find himself in the 78th percentile among RBs with 3.6 targets.While Rico Dowdle has earned 5.7% of his offense's targets in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a much bigger part of Carolina's passing offense in this week's game at 11.7%.
