The projections expect the Cowboys offensive gameplan to tilt 3.5% more towards the passing game than it did last season (in a neutral context) with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer now calling the plays.Given their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Cowboys are predicted by our trusted projection set to run 65.5 plays on offense in this contest: the 10th-highest number on the slate this week.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.This week, Tony Pollard is anticipated by our trusted projection set to find himself in the 94th percentile when it comes to RBs with 4.7 targets.When talking about air yards, Tony Pollard ranks in the towering 94th percentile among RBs this year, accumulating a striking 4.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is much more impressive than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).
