At a -5.5-point disadvantage, the Panthers are underdogs this week, implying more of an emphasis on throwing than their standard approach.The passing offenses of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (4-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while run volume may fall-off.Tommy Tremble's 59.0% Route Participation Rate this year shows a substantial progression in his air attack usage over last year's 36.9% rate.This year, the shaky Cardinals pass defense has allowed a colossal 78.1% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing TEs: the 10th-highest rate in the league.As it relates to linebackers in defending receivers, Arizona's group of LBs has been atrocious this year, ranking as the 3rd-worst in the league.
