At the present time, the 9th-most pass-centric team in football near the goal line (59.2% context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is expected by the projections to see 134.1 offensive plays run: the 2nd-highest number among all games this week.The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may slide.Baker Mayfield has been among the leading touchdown throwers in the league this year, averaging an impressive 1.62 per game while ranking in the 81st percentile.The Saints defense has allowed the 6th-most passing TDs in the NFL: 2.00 per game this year.
