At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the Jaguars are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a reliance on passing than their usual game plan.The model projects the Jacksonville Jaguars offense to be the 8th-fastest paced team in the league (adjusted for context) at the moment, averaging 27.41 seconds per play.The predictive model expects Travis Etienne to accumulate 4.4 targets in this week's contest, on balance, placing him in the 91st percentile among RBs.When talking about air yards, Travis Etienne grades out in the towering 97th percentile among running backs this year, accumulating a superb 4.0 per game. (considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).The Jacksonville O-line profiles as the 7th-best in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a positive impact on all passing attack metrics across the board.
