The predictive model expects the Seahawks to be the 9th-least run-heavy team in the league (context-neutralized) at the present time with a 37.1% run rate.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is anticipated by the projections to see just 127.1 offensive plays called: the 4th-lowest number among all games this week.Still weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being called for in this game) typically mean increased passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and lower run volume.Geno Smith has averaged a mere 1.6 rush attempts per game this year, one of the smallest rates in the NFL when it comes to quarterbacks (20th percentile).The Seattle offensive line grades out as the worst in football last year at blocking for the run game.
