An extreme passing game script is indicated by the Seahawks being a massive -9.5-point underdog this week.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Seahawks to run on 34.0% of their downs: the 2nd-lowest clip on the slate this week.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.As it relates to opening holes for runners (and the influence it has on all run game statistics), the O-line of the Seahawks profiles as the 4th-worst in the league last year.This year, the feeble Dallas Cowboys run defense has yielded a monstrous 4.18 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's run game: the 23rd-worst rate in the NFL.
