Key Factors
Favors Over
Right now, the 4th-most pass-centric offense in the NFL (64.3% in a neutral context) according to our trusted projection set is the Rams.
Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Los Angeles Rams are projected by the projection model to run 65.6 plays on offense in this contest: the 7th-most on the slate this week.
The weather report calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means increased pass volume, and reduced rush volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.
In this contest, Matthew Stafford is projected by the predictive model to have the 5th-most pass attempts among all QBs with 37.7.
Favors Under
With a 6.5-point advantage, the Rams are favored in this week's game, indicating more of a reliance on rushing than their usual game plan.
As it relates to pocket protection (and the ramifications it has on all pass attack statistics), the offensive line of the Los Angeles Rams grades out as the 8th-worst in the NFL this year.
This year, the imposing Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has yielded a paltry 67.9% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing offenses: the 9th-lowest rate in the NFL.
