- The Green Bay Packers have utilized some form of misdirection on 54.7% of their play-calls since the start of last season (6th-most in the NFL), which masks an offenses true intentions and may make them more effective.
Cons
- The Packers are a massive 9.5-point favorite in this week’s game, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Green Bay Packers as the 8th-least pass-heavy team on the slate this week with a 56.1% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects the Packers to run the 4th-least offensive plays on the slate this week with 63.3 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
