Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Chargers to run on 40.4% of their plays: the 8th-lowest clip on the slate this week.The Los Angeles Chargers have run the fewest plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling a measly 55.6 plays per game.The passing games of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.While Najee Harris has garnered 49.1% of his offense's run game usage in games he has played since the start of last season, the leading projections forecast him to be a less important option in Los Angeles's rushing attack in this contest at 13.4%.As it relates to the linebackers' role in stopping the run, Las Vegas's collection of LBs has been fantastic since the start of last season, projecting as the 5th-best in football.
