Favors Under

THE BLITZ projects the Buffalo Bills to be the 4th-least run-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 35.3% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Buffalo Bills have played in the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the league since the start of last season, which ought to lead to higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved offense performance when facing better conditions this week.
The weatherman calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
The Los Angeles Rams defense owns the 3rd-best efficiency against opposing rushing attacks since the start of last season, surrendering just 4.00 yards-per-carry.
The Los Angeles Rams defensive ends project as the best collection of DEs in the league since the start of last season when it comes to run defense.
