At the present time, the 5th-most pass-centric team in the league (64.4% in a neutral context) according to our trusted projection set is the Cowboys.
Based on the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is anticipated by the projections to have just 129.3 offensive plays called: the 3rd-fewest on the slate this week.
The Cowboys have called the 5th-most plays in the NFL this year, totaling a monstrous 60.4 plays per game.
This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.
When it comes to protecting the passer (and the strong effect it has on all air attack metrics), the offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys ranks as the 7th-best in the NFL this year.
Cons
An extreme running game script is indicated by the Cowboys being an enormous 7-point favorite in this week’s game.
