The Minnesota Vikings will be forced to use backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs in this game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.Based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Minnesota Vikings to run on 39.3% of their downs: the 6th-lowest rate among all teams this week.The leading projections forecast the Vikings to run the 10th-fewest total plays among all teams this week with 64.3 plays, given their underlying propensities and game dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.As it relates to the defensive ends' role in stopping the run, Las Vegas's collection of DEs has been very good this year, profiling as the best in the league.
