Positives for the Atlanta Falcons Game Today

Based on their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Atlanta Falcons are forecasted by the projection model to call 68.6 offensive plays in this contest: the 4th-most on the slate this week.

This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.

When it comes to safeties in defending receivers, Arizona’s collection of safeties has been very bad this year, projecting as the 6th-worst in football.

Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Arizona Cardinals to pass on 63.5% of their downs: the 4th-highest rate on the slate this week.

Based on the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is anticipated by the predictive model to see 135.8 offensive plays run: the 3rd-highest number on the slate this week.

The Cardinals have called the 2nd-most plays in the NFL this year, totaling a massive 61.3 plays per game.

The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the still “weather” conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.

Jacoby Brissett’s 237.0 adjusted passing yards per game this year illustrates a remarkable improvement in his passing ability over last year’s 126.0 rate.
