A passing game script is implied by the Jaguars being a -4-point underdog this week.
Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to pass on 60.4% of their chances: the 10th-highest frequency among all teams this week.
The model projects the Jaguars to be the 6th-fastest paced defense in the NFL (adjusted for context) right now, causing opposing offenses to average 27.49 seconds per play.
In this game, Trevor Lawrence is expected by the model to average the 7th-most pass attempts out of all quarterbacks with 36.7.
The Ravens defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, inciting opposing teams to attempt the 2nd-most passes in the NFL (39.6 per game) this year.
