The predictive model expects the Kansas City Chiefs as the 8th-least run-oriented team on the slate this week with a 39.2% run rate, based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm weather conditions (4-mph wind) being projected in this game, while run volume may slide.Our trusted projections expect Kareem Hunt to be much less involved in his team's rushing attack this week (36.1% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (63.3% in games he has played).Kareem Hunt's ground effectiveness (3.63 adjusted yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the league this year (11th percentile among running backs).Kareem Hunt ranks as one of the weakest running backs in the NFL at picking up extra ground yardage, averaging a lowly 2.43 yards-after-contact this year while grading out in the 6th percentile.
