This week's line indicates a running game script for the Steelers, who are favored by 3 points.The predictive model expects the Steelers as the 5th-least run-heavy team among all teams this week with a 39.0% run rate, based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The 5th-smallest volume of plays in the NFL have been run by the Steelers this year (a measly 52.9 per game on average).Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being projected in this game) typically mean increased passing effectiveness, higher TD potential, higher air attack volume, and lower run volume.When it comes to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Baltimore's safety corps has been one of the most skilled this year, projecting as the 2nd-best in the NFL.
