At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the Falcons are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a focus on passing than their standard approach.Our trusted projections expect this game to have the largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 137.2 plays, accounting for the play styles of each team and game dynamics.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 37.8 pass attempts per game vs. the Eagles defense last year: most in the league.In regards to pocket protection (and the positive effect it has on all passing game metrics), the offensive line of the Falcons ranks as the 8th-best in football since the start of last season.The Philadelphia Eagles linebackers project as the worst LB corps in football since the start of last season in defending pass-catchers.
