The Commanders have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 12.9% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).This week's line implies an extreme passing game script for the Commanders, who are heavy -8.5-point underdogs.The leading projections forecast the Commanders to be the most pass-focused team on the slate this week with a 67.6% pass rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.Still weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being projected in this game) usually prompt better passing effectiveness, increased TD potential, increased pass volume, and lower rush volume.Our trusted projections expect Sam Howell to attempt 40.1 passes in this game, on average: the most out of all quarterbacks.
