Key Factors
Favors Over

Dalvin Cook has garnered 76.4% of his team's carries this year, ranking him in the 98th percentile among RBs.
Opposing teams have run for the 5th-most yards in the league (144 per game) against the Green Bay Packers defense this year.
The Green Bay Packers linebackers project as the 6th-worst unit in the league this year when it comes to stopping the run.
Favors Under
The Minnesota Vikings will have a new play-caller this year in head coach Kevin O'Connell, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 6.2% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).
The Vikings are a 3-point underdog this week, indicating a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Minnesota Vikings to be the 3rd-least run-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 35.1% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
Dalvin Cook has run for many fewer yards per game (73.0) this season than he did last season (89.0).
The Minnesota Vikings have been faced with a stacked the box on 20.3% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-most in football. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
