This week's line suggests a running game script for the Giants, who are favored by 3 points.The leading projections forecast the Giants to be the least run-focused team on the slate this week with a 40.0% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.Based on their underlying traits and game dynamics, the New York Giants are forecasted by the projection model to run just 61.7 offensive plays in this contest: the lowest number among all teams this week.Calm weather conditions (like the 1-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally lead to better passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and lower rush volume.As it relates to the safeties' role in stopping the run, Pittsburgh's unit has been phenomenal this year, projecting as the best in the NFL.
