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 predictive model expects Raheem Mostert to be much less involved in his offense's rushing attack near the end zone in this week's game (12.5% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (27.1% in games he has played).When talking about air yards, Raheem Mostert ranks in the towering 88th percentile among running backs since the start of last season, accumulating a monstrous 2.0 per game. (due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more notable than it appears since most RBs average negative air yards).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.
