Key Factors

Favors Over

THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 5th-largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 128.3 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Los Angeles Chargers have run the 5th-most plays in the league since the start of last season, averaging a monstrous 65.3 plays per game.
The Los Angeles Chargers have played in the 4th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league since the start of last season, which ought to mean lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced pass game performance when facing windier conditions in this week's contest.
The Los Angeles Chargers O-line ranks as the 10th-best in the league since the start of last season at opening holes for rushers.
The Kansas City Chiefs defense has had the 7th-worst efficiency against opposing run games since the start of last season, surrendering 4.78 yards-per-carry.

Favors Under

The Chargers are a 4-point underdog in this week's contest, likely creating a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Los Angeles Chargers as the least run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 35.8% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects Sony Michel to be a much smaller piece of his team's rushing attack this week (19.3% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (50.8% in games he has played).
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 NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
