With a 3-point advantage, the Chargers are favored in this game, suggesting more of a focus on running than their typical game plan.Accounting for their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Chargers are anticipated by the model to call just 63.0 plays on offense in this contest: the 6th-fewest on the slate this week.The weatherman calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means reduced pass volume (and increased run volume) and decreased passing effectiveness.Keenan Allen's 52.5 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that measures high-value offensive usage) has been substantially lower this season than it was last season at 64.5.The Chargers O-line grades out as the 6th-worst in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a harmful effect on all passing attack metrics across the board.
