At a -4-point disadvantage, the Panthers are underdogs in this week's contest, indicating more of an emphasis on passing than their usual approach.The 9th-largest volume of plays in football have been run by the Carolina Panthers since the start of last season (a staggering 59.8 per game on average).The pass games of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.Since the start of last season, the weak Las Vegas Raiders pass defense has conceded a colossal 75.9% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing tight ends: the 9th-biggest rate in football.As it relates to linebackers in covering pass-catchers, Las Vegas's LB corps has been awful since the start of last season, grading out as the 2nd-worst in football.
