A throwing game script is indicated by the Lions being a -4.5-point underdog in this game.Given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Detroit Lions to run on 38.4% of their chances: the 5th-lowest rate on the slate this week.The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.The model projects Jared Goff to notch 1.5 rush attempts this week, on balance: the 4th-fewest among all QBs.Taking on a mere 3.3% of his offense's run game usage this year (10th percentile among QBs), Jared Goff's immobility makes him no threat on the ground.
