The Raiders are a 3.5-point underdog in this week's contest, likely leading to a passing game script.THE BLITZ projects Josh Jacobs to be a much smaller part of his team's run game near the end zone this week (51.0% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (63.3% in games he has played).The Los Angeles Chargers safeties grade out as the 8th-best unit in the NFL since the start of last season with their run defense.The Las Vegas Raiders have gone no-huddle on a lowly 4.7% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-least in the NFL). This slows the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.The Las Vegas Raiders have risked going for it on 4th down a mere 15.7% of the time since the start of last season (7th-least in football), which usually means less offensive volume, less TD potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
