At a -6-point disadvantage, the Vikings are underdogs in this week's contest, indicating more of an emphasis on passing than their normal game plan.Our trusted projections expect the Minnesota Vikings to be the 3rd-least run-centric team on the slate this week with a 37.5% run rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Vikings are expected by the projection model to call just 62.1 offensive plays in this contest: the lowest number on the slate this week.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may suffer.The San Francisco 49ers defensive ends rank as the worst DE corps in the league last year in regard to defending the run.
