With a 33.2% rate of running the ball (adjusted for context) this year, the 2nd-least run-heavy team in the league has been the Las Vegas Raiders.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is predicted by the model to have just 125.4 plays on offense run: the 3rd-fewest on the slate this week.The Raiders have run the 3rd-fewest plays in the league since the start of last season, averaging a mere 54.9 plays per game.The passing attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.In this week's game, Gardner Minshew is projected by the predictive model to garner the 7th-fewest carries out of all QBs with 2.2.
