With a 61.8% rate of throwing the ball near the goal line (in a neutral context) this year, the 7th-most pass-centric offense in football in this setting has been the Raiders.The pass games of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may drop-off.The projections expect Michael Mayer to be a more important option in his team's passing attack near the end zone this week (17.1% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (9.1% in games he has played).The Las Vegas Raiders O-line grades out as the 9th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the passer, which has a positive effect on all passing offense statistics across the board.Michael Mayer's 100.0% Adjusted Catch% this season represents an impressive improvement in his receiving prowess over last season's 65.1% rate.
