Pros
- The model projects the Philadelphia Eagles as the 9th-most run-centric offense among all teams this week with a 46.1% run rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
- The leading projections forecast the Eagles to call the 6th-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 66.5 plays, given their underlying play style and game dynamics.
- The 5th-most plays in the league have been called by the Eagles this year (a staggering 61.3 per game on average).
- The model projects D’Andre Swift to garner 15.3 carries in this game, on balance, ranking him in the 85th percentile when it comes to RBs.
- This year, the strong Buffalo Bills run defense has allowed a paltry 4.61 adjusted yards-per-carry to the opposition’s rushing attack: the 27th-smallest rate in football.
Cons
- D’Andre Swift’s 4.6 adjusted yards per carry this season indicates a meaningful drop-off in his rushing skills over last season’s 5.4 rate.
- D’Andre Swift comes in as one of the worst RBs in the league at grinding out extra running yardage, averaging a measly 2.65 yards-after-contact this year while grading out in the 24th percentile.
- The Bills linebackers grade out as the 3rd-best LB corps in the NFL this year in regard to stopping the run.
