The Cowboys are a 3.5-point underdog this week, likely creating a passing game script.The predictive model expects the Dallas Cowboys as the 3rd-least run-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 36.8% run rate, accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The air attacks of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may slide.This year, the porous Detroit Lions run defense has surrendered a staggering 4.05 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's running game: the 24th-highest rate in the NFL.As it relates to the linebackers' role in stopping the run, Detroit's LB corps has been tremendous this year, grading out as the 3rd-best in the NFL.
