The 49ers may lean on the pass less in this week's contest (and hand the ball off more) because they be starting backup quarterback Mac Jones.At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the 49ers are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a reliance on passing than their standard approach.The predictive model expects the San Francisco 49ers to be the 5th-least run-centric team on the slate this week with a 38.9% run rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.As it relates to the linebackers' role in defending against the run, Tampa Bay's unit has been excellent this year, projecting as the 8th-best in football.
