With a 12.5-point advantage, the Eagles are a heavy favorite in this week's game, suggesting much more of a focus on running than their standard approach.Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Philadelphia Eagles to run on 51.9% of their opportunities: the highest clip among all teams this week.The forecast calls for 17-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means lower pass volume (and higher run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.The model projects Saquon Barkley to accrue 21.5 rush attempts in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 99th percentile among running backs.The Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackles project as the 3rd-worst group of DTs in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
