Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Las Vegas Raiders to run on 40.3% of their plays: the 7th-lowest clip on the slate this week.The Raiders have called the 3rd-fewest plays in the league since the start of last season, averaging a mere 54.9 plays per game.This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.In this contest, Gardner Minshew is forecasted by the model to garner the 7th-fewest carries out of all quarterbacks with 1.8. When it comes to the defensive tackles' role in defending against the run, Cleveland's group of DTs has been excellent since the start of last season, ranking as the 6th-best in the league.
