The Panthers are a 4-point underdog in this game, indicating a passing game script.At the present time, the 7th-most pass-heavy team in football near the goal line (59.3% context-neutralized) according to our trusted projection set is the Panthers.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.While Rico Dowdle has been responsible for 4.0% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the model projects him to be a more integral piece of Carolina's offense near the end zone in this week's game at 10.7%.When it comes to pocket protection (and the strong impact it has on all air attack stats), the offensive line of the Panthers grades out as the 9th-best in the NFL this year.
