At a -4-point disadvantage, the Buccaneers are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a focus on passing than their typical approach.Given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Buccaneers to pass on 62.5% of their downs: the 4th-greatest rate on the slate this week.The predictive model expects the Buccaneers to be the 7th-most pass-focused team in football near the goal line (adjusted for context) right now with a 58.4% red zone pass rate.The Ravens defense has been a notorious pass funnel this year, allowing opposing offenses to attempt the 4th-most passes in the league (40.5 per game) this year.Baker Mayfield's 70.2% Adjusted Completion% this year reflects an impressive growth in his throwing accuracy over last year's 63.6% rate.
