Based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Buccaneers to pass on 62.1% of their plays: the 3rd-greatest clip on the slate this week.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.The New Orleans Saints defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, tempting opposing offenses to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the NFL (41.4 per game) this year.In this contest, Mike Evans is anticipated by the projections to finish in the 87th percentile when it comes to wide receivers with 8.0 targets.Mike Evans has been in the 90th percentile for wide receiver WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that weighs high-value offensive usage) with a superb 66.2 figure this year.
