At a -13.5-point disadvantage, the Ravens are big underdogs in this week's contest, implying much more of a reliance on passing than their usual approach.Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Ravens to pass on 60.3% of their chances: the 9th-highest frequency on the slate this week.At the present time, the 6th-most run-heavy offense in football in the red zone (49.5% in a neutral context) according to the predictive model is the Ravens.The Ravens offense has played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace in the NFL (context-neutralized) this year, averaging 30.46 seconds per snap.While Rashod Bateman has earned 18.8% of his offense's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a much smaller part of Baltimore's passing offense near the end zone in this week's contest at 13.3%.
