The Ravens are a 3.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to a rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects the Baltimore Ravens as the 10th-most run-heavy offense in the league near the goal line (context-neutralized) at the moment with a 44.9% red zone run rate.Kenyan Drake has rushed for 0.33 TDs per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the highest figures in the league among running backs (75th percentile).The Denver Broncos defensive ends profile as the 3rd-worst DE corps in football this year in regard to stopping the run.The Denver Broncos have stacked the box versus opponents on just 9.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in the NFL. Choosing not to bring an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
