Pros
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the highest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 137.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have run the 3rd-most plays in the NFL this year, averaging a whopping 63.1 plays per game.

- Opposing offenses have rushed for the 7th-most yards in the NFL (140 per game) versus the Seattle Seahawks defense this year.
- The Seattle Seahawks defensive ends grade out as the 8th-worst unit in the league this year in regard to run defense.
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the 2nd-least run-centric offense among all teams this week with a 32.8% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The weatherman calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
