THE BLITZ projects the Los Angeles Chargers to be the 10th-least run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 37.3% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The weather forecast calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.THE BLITZ projects Sony Michel to be much less involved in his offense's running game this week (13.2% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (53.0% in games he has played).The Las Vegas Raiders defense owns the 8th-best efficiency against opposing run games since the start of last season, surrendering just 4.25 yards-per-carry.The Los Angeles Chargers have been faced with a stacked the box on 18.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in the league. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
