At a -8.5-point disadvantage, the Buccaneers are heavy underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of a focus on throwing than their typical approach.Our trusted projections expect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be the 3rd-most pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 63.0% pass rate, accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.Given the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is forecasted by the projections to have 130.0 total plays run: the 5th-most out of all the games this week.In throwing a colossal 35.9 pass attempts per game this year, Baker Mayfield places among the top QBs in the NFL (90th percentile) in this respect.When it comes to pocket protection (and the strong effect it has on all pass attack statistics), the O-line of the Buccaneers grades out as the 8th-best in football this year.
