The New York Jets may lean on the pass less in this week's contest (and hand the ball off more) because they be forced to start backup quarterback Zach Wilson.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Jets to pass on 60.0% of their plays: the 7th-greatest frequency on the slate this week.The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.The Raiders pass defense has allowed the 5th-highest Adjusted Completion% in football (71.4%) to wide receivers this year (71.4%).This year, the anemic Las Vegas Raiders defense has been torched for the 6th-most yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing wideouts: a whopping 4.93 YAC.
