At the present time, the 9th-most pass-centric team in football near the goal line (59.2% context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is expected by the projections to see 134.1 offensive plays run: the 2nd-highest number among all games this week.The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may slide.This year, the weak Saints pass defense has been torched for a massive 87.7% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing RBs: the 7th-largest rate in the league.This year, the anemic Saints defense has allowed a colossal 0.29 receiving touchdowns per game to opposing RBs: the 7th-largest rate in football.
