Pros
- 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.
