With the total pegged at 50.5, the game promises a clash between experience and projected offensive momentum.

In terms of yardage, Gulbranson should have no problem reaching some solid marks. In his only season getting solid minutes, he put up 1,455 yards, taking around half the snaps. However this year, assuming he takes the majority of snaps, should have around 2,500 yards. That’s about 208 yards per game, a very achievable mark.
