The Chargers are a 3-point favorite in this week's contest, likely leading to a rushing game script.The Los Angeles Chargers have run the 2nd-most plays in the league this year, averaging a colossal 63.4 plays per game.THE BLITZ projects Justin Herbert to be a more important option in his team's running game this week (13.3% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (4.3% in games he has played).The Tennessee Titans have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 10.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 4th-least in the league. Choosing not to keep an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.The Los Angeles Chargers have risked going for it on 4th down 27.6% of the time since the start of last season (2nd-most in football), which usually means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive stats across the board.
