At a -3-point disadvantage, the Panthers are underdogs in this week's game, suggesting more of a reliance on throwing than their normal approach.With an elite 9.5% Target% (81st percentile) this year, Rico Dowdle has been as one of the pass-game running backs with the highest volume in the NFL.When it comes to pocket protection (and the positive impact it has on all passing attack metrics), the offensive line of the Carolina Panthers ranks as the 10th-best in the league this year.This year, the weak Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense has allowed a monstrous 89.0% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing running backs: the 2nd-worst rate in the league.When it comes to linebackers in pass coverage, Tampa Bay's collection of LBs has been easily exploitable this year, projecting as the 4th-worst in football.
