An extreme throwing game script is suggested by the Raiders being an enormous -7-point underdog this week.The Baltimore Ravens defense has been a bit of pass funnel since the start of last season, inciting opposing quarterbacks to attempt the most passes in the NFL (37.8 per game) since the start of last season.Alexander Mattison has run a route on 44.3% of his team's passing plays since the start of last season, ranking him in the 75th percentile when it comes to running backs.As it relates to air yards, Alexander Mattison grades out in the towering 81st percentile among running backs since the start of last season, averaging a striking 1.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more notable than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the strong impact it has on all passing offense statistics), the offensive line of the Las Vegas Raiders profiles as the 5th-best in football since the start of last season.
