With a 3.5-point advantage, the Falcons are favored in this week's game, suggesting more of a focus on running than their typical game plan.Opposing quarterbacks teams have been afraid to rely on the passing game too much against the Carolina Panthers, totaling the 6th-fewest attempts in the NFL (a mere 30.4 per game) this year.With an impressive 21.7% snap rate (23rd percentile) this year, Tyler Allgeier stands among the running backs with the biggest workloads in the NFL.When it comes to pass protection (and the impact it has on all passing game stats), the offensive line of the Atlanta Falcons profiles as the 9th-worst in the league this year.Since the start of last season, the daunting Carolina Panthers defense has conceded a feeble 78.4% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing RBs: the 5th-lowest rate in the NFL.
