At a -8-point disadvantage, the Raiders are huge underdogs this week, indicating much more of a reliance on passing than their typical approach.Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Raiders to run on 37.0% of their opportunities: the 3rd-lowest clip on the slate this week.The model projects the Raiders offense to be the 4th-slowest paced team in football (context-neutralized) at the moment, averaging 29.37 seconds per play.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.This year, the poor Broncos run defense has yielded a monstrous 3.71 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's run game: the 31st-largest rate in the NFL.
