This week's line implies a passing game script for the Buccaneers, who are -6-point underdogs.The model projects the Buccaneers to be the 2nd-least run-heavy team on the slate this week with a 36.0% run rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The 6th-lowest number of plays in the NFL have been run by the Buccaneers since the start of last season (a lowly 56.4 per game on average).This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.While Rachaad White has earned 62.8% of his team's run game usage in games he has played since the start of last season, the predictive model expects him to be much less involved in Tampa Bay's rushing attack in this game at 52.5%.
