The Vikings are a 3.5-point underdog this week, which points towards a passing game script.Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Minnesota Vikings to run on 32.1% of their downs: the lowest clip on the slate this week.The Vikings have called the 7th-fewest plays in the league this year, totaling just 54.5 plays per game.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing efficiency.While Alexander Mattison has earned 76.7% of his team's rush attempts in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a much smaller piece of Minnesota's ground game this week at 57.8%.
