The New York Giants defense has been particularly weak when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, conceding an average of 5.52 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year: the 3rd-most in the NFL.
The Giants cornerbacks profile as the worst group of CBs in football this year in defending pass-catchers.

Cons

Accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the New England Patriots to pass on 53.9% of their downs: the 9th-lowest rate on the slate this week.
The projections expect Mac Jones to throw 26.5 passes in this week’s game, on average: the 2nd-fewest among all QBs.
