Pros
- The Dallas Cowboys will be rolling with backup quarterback Cooper Rush in this game, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.
- The Cowboys are a 6.5-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to a passing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the most plays run among all games this week at 138.7 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The weather report calls for 2-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.

- CeeDee Lamb’s sure-handedness have diminished this year, with his Completion% falling off from 67.2% to 58.6%.
