The Raiders will be forced to use backup QB Brian Hoyer in this week's game, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.The Raiders are a massive 7-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.The Lions defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, inciting opposing teams to attempt the 4th-most passes in football (40.0 per game) this year.In regards to protecting the passer (and the positive effect it has on all air attack stats), the offensive line of the Raiders grades out as the best in the league this year.
