At a -3-point disadvantage, the Raiders are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of an emphasis on passing than their normal game plan.Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Raiders to pass on 59.6% of their plays: the 8th-highest frequency on the slate this week.The Raiders have been the 4th-least pass-focused offense in the league near the goal line (in a neutral context) this year with a 33.3% red zone pass rate.The model projects this game to see the 2nd-largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 133.3 plays, based on the play styles of each team and game dynamics.Our trusted projections expect Geno Smith to throw 35.9 passes in this game, on balance: the 7th-most out of all quarterbacks.
