This week's spread indicates a running game script for the Chargers, who are favored by 3 points.The predictive model expects this game to have the 4th-fewest plays run among all games this week at 126.7 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.Opposing teams teams have been disinclined to test the pass defense of the Minnesota Vikings, totaling the 2nd-fewest attempts in the league (a lowly 27.7 per game) this year.The predictive model expects Justin Herbert to be much more involved in his team's running game near the goal line in this contest (10.0% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (4.0% in games he has played).As it relates to protecting the passer (and the impact it has on all passing attack metrics), the offensive line of the Chargers grades out as the 9th-worst in football this year.
