The Buccaneers are a 3-point underdog this week, likely leading to a passing game script.Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Buccaneers to run on 36.7% of their chances: the lowest frequency on the slate this week.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.After accounting for 63.2% of his team's run game usage last year, Rachaad White has had a smaller role in the run game this year, currently making up just 43.8%.As it relates to the defensive tackles' role in stopping the run, Atlanta's collection of DTs has been outstanding this year, grading out as the 6th-best in the league.
