At a -7.5-point disadvantage, the Jaguars are massive underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of a focus on moving the ball through the air than their normal game plan.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to pass on 61.6% of their downs: the 5th-greatest rate on the slate this week.Still weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being called for in this game) typically lead to better passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased air attack volume, and reduced ground volume.The predictive model expects Travis Etienne to total 4.2 targets in this contest, on average, ranking him in the 89th percentile among RBs.The Jacksonville offensive line grades out as the 4th-best in the league this year in protecting the passer, which has a strong impact on all passing attack metrics across the board.
