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.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.Cade Otton has run a route on 84.7% of his offense's passing plays this year, placing him in the 98th percentile among TEs.The predictive model expects Cade Otton to accrue 5.4 targets in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 88th percentile when it comes to TEs.
