THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 3rd-highest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 133.9 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Arizona Cardinals have called the most plays in the NFL this year, averaging a monstrous 64.1 plays per game.
This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
THE BLITZ projects Kyler Murray to attempt 38.4 passes in this week’s contest, on average: the 7th-most of all quarterbacks.
The Los Angeles Chargers cornerbacks project as the 4th-worst group of CBs in the league this year in covering receivers.
Cons
Opposing QBs have averaged 31.4 pass attempts per game versus the Los Angeles Chargers defense this year: 8th-least in football.
Kyler Murray’s passing accuracy has declined this year, with his Completion% falling off from 68.0% to 64.3%.
Kyler Murray’s pass-game efficiency has diminished this year, notching a measly 6.06 yards-per-target vs a 7.61 figure last year.
Opposing teams have passed for the 9th-least yards in the league (just 197.0 per game) vs. the Los Angeles Chargers defense this year.
The Arizona Cardinals offensive line has allowed their quarterback just 2.34 seconds before getting pressured (2nd-worst in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all air attack statistics across the board.
