Our trusted projections expect the Buccaneers to be the 8th-most pass-focused team in the league (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 62.3% pass rate.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may fall-off.The predictive model expects Mike Evans to earn 8.8 targets in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 89th percentile when it comes to wide receivers.The model projects Mike Evans to be a more integral piece of his team's pass game this week (26.7% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (20.9% in games he has played).When it comes to pass-blocking (and the positive effect it has on all passing attack statistics), the O-line of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grades out as the 5th-best in the NFL this year.
