A running game script is suggested by the Commanders being a 3.5-point favorite in this week's contest.Given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Commanders to pass on 51.3% of their opportunities: the 5th-lowest frequency on the slate this week.The weather report calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind typically means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and decreased passing effectiveness.With a weak 2.49 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (6th percentile) this year, Zach Ertz rates as one of the best pass-game tight ends in the NFL in space.This year, the strong Atlanta Falcons defense has given up a mere 69.9% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing tight ends: the 4th-lowest rate in football.
