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.With a RATE1-RATE2 point uptick in WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced stat that calculates high-value offensive involvement) from last year to this one, Tony Pollard has been more prominently incorporated in his team's pass game.
