The Buccaneers are a massive 10-point favorite in this week's game, which points towards an extreme rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 3rd-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 132.7 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.THE BLITZ projects Leonard Fournette to accrue 17.3 carries in this week's contest, on average, putting him in the 91st percentile among RBs.The Atlanta Falcons linebackers rank as the 8th-worst LB corps in football this year when it comes to stopping the run.The Atlanta Falcons have stacked the box against opponents on just 11.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-least in the NFL. Choosing not to position an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
