The Ravens are a 6.5-point favorite in this game, likely creating a rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects the Baltimore Ravens to be the 4th-most run-centric offense among all teams this week with a 54.6% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The forecast calls for 16-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and worse passing efficiency.Opposing squads have run for the 8th-most yards in the NFL (135 per game) versus the Atlanta Falcons defense this year.The Atlanta Falcons have stacked the box versus opponents on just 11.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-least in the league. Choosing not to keep an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
