Cons
The Packers are a 3.5-point underdog this week, likely creating a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Green Bay Packers to be the 8th-least run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 37.3% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Green Bay Packers have gone no-huddle on a lowly 2.7% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (5th-least in football). This deadens the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.
