The Seahawks are a 3.5-point underdog in this week's game, likely leading to a passing game script.Given their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Seahawks are projected by the projections to call only 62.5 total plays in this contest: the 7th-fewest among all teams this week.The Seattle Seahawks have run the 5th-fewest plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling just 55.7 plays per game.Still weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being forecasted in this game) typically correlate with better passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and lower ground volume.Since the start of last season, the feeble Steelers run defense has allowed a staggering 4.21 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to the opposition's ground game: the 26th-highest rate in football.
