The Browns are a 6.5-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards a passing game script.Based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Cleveland Browns to run on 35.9% of their chances: the lowest rate among all teams this week.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being called for in this game, while run volume may go down.Nick Chubb's ground efficiency has diminished this year, compiling just 3.04 adjusted yards-per-carry vs a 5.93 mark last year.This year, the feeble Denver Broncos run defense has surrendered a massive 3.86 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's run game: the 24th-biggest rate in the league.
