Cons
The Seahawks are a heavy 9.5-point underdog in this week’s contest, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.
The projections expect the Seattle Seahawks to be the 2nd-least run-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 34.0% run rate, given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.
This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing efficiency.
In regards to run support (and the impact it has on all ground game stats), the offensive line of the Seattle Seahawks ranks as the 4th-worst in the NFL last year.
This year, the deficient Dallas Cowboys run defense has been torched for a colossal 4.18 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition’s rushing attack: the 23rd-highest rate in the NFL.
