At a -7.5-point disadvantage, the Falcons are enormous underdogs in this game, indicating much more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their usual approach.Accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Falcons to run on 38.8% of their plays: the 3rd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.Bijan Robinson has run for a lot fewer adjusted yards per game (68.0) this season than he did last season (82.0).This year, the weak Los Angeles Rams run defense has surrendered a staggering 4.08 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's rushing attack: the 18th-largest rate in football.
