At a -7.5-point disadvantage, the Raiders are huge underdogs this week, indicating much more of a reliance on passing than their typical approach.Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Raiders to run on 37.2% of their opportunities: the 4th-lowest clip on the slate this week.The model projects the Raiders offense to be the 5th-slowest paced team in football (context-neutralized) at the moment, averaging 29.04 seconds per play.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.Geno Smith's 7.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this year conveys a material diminishment in his running proficiency over last year's 16.0 rate.
