The Dallas Cowboys feature a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to skew 4.9% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context).This week's line implies a throwing game script for the Cowboys, who are -3-point underdogs.The Philadelphia Eagles defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, leading opposing QBs to attempt the 2nd-most passes in football (41.1 per game) this year.Tony Pollard has been more involved as a potential target this season (56.0% Route Participation Rate in games he has played) than he did last season (44.3%).This week, Tony Pollard is expected by the predictive model to slot into the 90th percentile among running backs with 4.5 targets.
