Pros
- An extreme rushing game script is indicated by the Eagles being a heavy 14-point favorite in this week’s contest.
- Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Eagles to run on 51.9% of their chances: the 2nd-greatest rate on the slate this week.
- To the extent of a defense’s impact on tempo, at 27.47 seconds per snap, the predictive model expects the Philadelphia Eagles as the 5th-fastest in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the moment.
- In this contest, D’Andre Swift is predicted by our trusted projection set to land in the 87th percentile among RBs with 15.3 rush attempts.
- This year, the strong New York Giants run defense has yielded a meager 4.89 adjusted yards-per-carry to opposing teams: the 31st-best rate in football.
Cons
- D’Andre Swift’s running effectiveness has declined this year, totaling just 4.40 adjusted yards-per-carry compared to a 5.43 rate last year.
- The New York Giants defensive tackles project as the best group of DTs in the NFL this year with their run defense.
