Our trusted projections expect the Patriots to run the 5th-most total plays on the slate this week with 66.5 plays, based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being projected in this game) usually mean increased passing effectiveness, higher touchdown potential, higher pass volume, and reduced run volume.In regards to protecting the passer (and the strong impact it has on all pass game metrics), the offensive line of the New England Patriots grades out as the 8th-best in the NFL this year.The Bengals defense has given up the 3rd-most adjusted receiving yards per game in the league (46.0) vs. RBs this year.This year, the shaky Cincinnati Bengals defense has conceded the 3rd-most adjusted yards-per-target in the league to opposing running backs: a monstrous 8.07 yards.
