An extreme throwing game script is implied by the Panthers being a giant -7.5-point underdog in this week's contest.The 7th-most plays in the league have been run by the Panthers this year (a staggering 60.6 per game on average).The Carolina offensive line grades out as the 8th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the passer, which has a positive impact on all pass game statistics across the board.Rico Dowdle's 86.9% Adjusted Catch Rate this season illustrates an impressive gain in his pass-catching proficiency over last season's 79.9% figure.As it relates to linebackers in defending pass-catchers, Buffalo's unit has been easily exploitable this year, grading out as the 10th-worst in the NFL.
