The Lions are a 5.5-point underdog in this game, which points towards a passing game script.Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Detroit Lions to run on 38.2% of their plays: the 4th-lowest clip on the slate this week.The forecast calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, and reduced rush volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.This year, the feeble Rams run defense has been gouged for a staggering 3.96 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's rushing attack: the 27th-biggest rate in the league.As it relates to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Los Angeles's collection of safeties has been fantastic this year, projecting as the 3rd-best in the NFL.
