This week's spread suggests a passing game script for the Packers, who are -3-point underdogs.The predictive model expects the Packers as the 8th-least run-heavy team on the slate this week with a 38.1% run rate, based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.The pass games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may fall-off.After making up 81.5% of his team's rush attempts last year, Josh Jacobs has had a smaller role in the ground game this year, now comprising just 64.9%.As it relates to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Detroit's group of safeties has been terrific this year, projecting as the 2nd-best in the league.
