At a -6.5-point disadvantage, the Giants are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of a focus on passing than their normal game plan.Given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Giants are expected by our trusted projection set to call 66.7 total plays in this contest: the 4th-highest number on the slate this week.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.The leading projections forecast Saquon Barkley to accumulate 5.6 targets in this game, on balance, putting him in the 94th percentile when it comes to running backs.In regards to air yards, Saquon Barkley grades out in the towering 94th percentile among RBs this year, accruing a massive 3.0 per game. (considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more remarkable than it appears since most RBs have negative air yards).
