The 49ers are a 5.5-point favorite in this week's contest, indicating a running game script.Our trusted projections expect the San Francisco 49ers to be the 4th-least pass-centric offense on the slate this week with a 51.4% pass rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.Windy weather conditions (like the 26-mph being predicted in this game) usually mean lessened passing efficiency, reduced pass volume, and higher ground volume.Opposing offenses teams have been reluctant to rely on the passing game too much against the Browns, averaging the 2nd-fewest attempts in football (a mere 28.9 per game) this year.George Kittle's 43.3 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that calculates high-value offensive usage) has been notably lower this year than it was last year at 48.4.
