At a -3-point disadvantage, the Raiders are underdogs in this game, implying more of an emphasis on passing than their typical approach.The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may suffer.The Minnesota Vikings defense has been something of pass funnel this year, allowing opposing offenses to attempt the 9th-most passes in football (37.8 per game) this year.The projections expect Josh Jacobs to total 4.4 targets in this week's game, on balance, putting him in the 85th percentile among running backs.Josh Jacobs has totaled a massive 6.0 air yards per game this year: 98th percentile among running backs. (This might not seem very overwhelming, but most RBs wind up with negative air yards because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage).
