An extreme running game script is indicated by the Cowboys being an enormous 7-point favorite in this week’s game.
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 leading projections forecast Tony Pollard to notch 15.2 rush attempts in this contest, on average, putting him in the 79th percentile when it comes to running backs.
