This week's line indicates an extreme passing game script for the Buccaneers, who are giant -13.5-point underdogs.The predictive model expects the Buccaneers as the 3rd-most pass-focused offense on the slate this week with a 63.0% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The 49ers defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, compelling opposing offenses to attempt the 9th-most passes in the NFL (38.7 per game) this year.This week, Mike Evans is anticipated by our trusted projection set to find himself in the 89th percentile among WRs with 8.1 targets.With a RATE1-RATE2 point increase in WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced stat that measures high-value offensive usage) from last season to this one, Mike Evans has been more prominently relied on in his offense's passing offense.
