The Seahawks are a 3.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to a rushing game script.Given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Seahawks to pass on 53.5% of their downs: the 4th-lowest frequency on the slate this week.Cooper Kupp's play as a receiver has diminished this year, averaging just 3.0 adjusted catches compared to 5.5 last year.This year, the strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has yielded a feeble 58.4% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing WRs: the 4th-smallest rate in football.When it comes to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Tampa Bay's collection of CBs has been tremendous this year, grading out as the best in the NFL.
