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 leading projections forecast Trevor Lawrence to attempt 35.8 passes in this week's game, on balance: the 10th-most among all quarterbacks.
