The Raiders are a 3-point underdog this week, likely creating a passing game script.Given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Raiders to pass on 60.4% of their downs: the 7th-greatest rate on the slate this week.The predictive model expects the Las Vegas Raiders to be the 6th-most pass-heavy team in football near the end zone (context-neutralized) at the present time with a 60.5% red zone pass rate.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.While Michael Mayer has garnered 11.8% of his offense's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the model projects him to be much more involved in Las Vegas's pass game near the goal line this week at 24.2%.
