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.While Cade Otton has garnered 3.4% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the leading projections forecast him to be a more integral piece of Tampa Bay's passing attack near the goal line this week at 17.3%.The New Orleans Saints pass defense has allowed the 10th-highest Adjusted Completion% in football (81.1%) to TEs this year (81.1%).
