With a 14-point advantage, the Dolphins are overwhelmingly favored in this game, suggesting much more of an emphasis on rushing than their standard approach.
Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Dolphins to run on 45.1% of their downs: the 7th-greatest frequency among all teams this week.
In this week’s contest, Raheem Mostert is predicted by the model to find himself in the 90th percentile among running backs with 16.8 rush attempts.
Raheem Mostert has rushed for substantially more adjusted yards per game (65.0) this season than he did last season (54.0).
The Carolina Panthers defense has produced the worst efficiency against opposing run games this year, allowing 5.90 adjusted yards-per-carry.
Cons
At the moment, the 7th-slowest paced offense in football (in a neutral context) according to the projections is the Miami Dolphins.
