The Las Vegas Raiders will be rolling with backup quarterback Desmond Ridder in this contest, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.At a -6-point disadvantage, the Raiders are underdogs in this game, indicating more of a reliance on passing than their standard approach.Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Raiders to run on 37.4% of their plays: the lowest rate among all teams this week.The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may fall-off.Desmond Ridder's ground effectiveness (4.25 adjusted yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the league since the start of last season (15th percentile among quarterbacks).
