The Jacksonville Jaguars feature a new play-caller this year in head coach Liam Coen, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to lean 2.7% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context).At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the Jaguars are underdogs in this week's game, suggesting more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their standard approach.Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Jacksonville Jaguars to pass on 60.5% of their opportunities: the 7th-greatest rate among all teams this week.Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being called for in this game) generally correlate with increased passing effectiveness, increased touchdown potential, increased pass volume, and lower rush volume.The Bengals defense has been a glaring pass funnel since the start of last season, causing opposing offenses to attempt the 8th-most passes in the league (34.0 per game) since the start of last season.
