Based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Buccaneers to pass on 62.1% of their plays: the 3rd-greatest clip on the slate this week.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.This week, Baker Mayfield is anticipated by the predictive model to have the 9th-most pass attempts out of all quarterbacks with 35.5. The New Orleans Saints defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, tempting opposing offenses to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the NFL (41.4 per game) this year.The Saints linebackers grade out as the 2nd-worst unit in the league this year with their pass rush.
