A passing game script is indicated by the Buccaneers being a -3-point underdog this week.
The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (2-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while run volume may decline.
Cons
The projections expect the Buccaneers to run the 2nd-fewest offensive plays among all teams this week with 62.9 plays, based on their underlying traits and game dynamics.
The 3rd-fewest plays in the league have been called by the Buccaneers this year (a measly 56.5 per game on average).
The leading projections forecast Baker Mayfield to throw 34.4 passes in this week’s game, on balance: the 4th-fewest out of all quarterbacks.
