- THE BLITZ projects the Green Bay Packers as the 8th-most pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 61.9% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.

- The Atlanta Falcons pass defense has not been good when opposing wideouts have gotten into space, allowing an average of 4.41 yards-after-the-catch since the start of last season: the 10th-most in the league.
Cons
