The leading projections forecast the Dallas Cowboys offensive scheme to skew 7.2% more towards the passing attack than it did last year (context-neutralized) with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer now calling the plays.
The leading projections forecast the Cowboys to be the 3rd-most pass-focused team among all teams this week with a 62.1% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The model projects the Dallas Cowboys to be the 10th-quickest paced defense in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the moment, causing opposing offenses to average 27.89 seconds per snap.
Opposing offenses have averaged 41.9 pass attempts per game against the Eagles defense this year: most in football.
CeeDee Lamb’s 103.0 adjusted receiving yards per game this year shows a noteable gain in his pass-catching skills over last year’s 82.0 mark.
Cons
The Cowboys are a 3.5-point favorite in this week’s contest, indicating a rushing game script.
This year, the formidable Eagles pass defense has given up the 7th-least yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing wide receivers: a measly 3.5 YAC.
