Outside of turnovers, I think whichever teams gets the other teams biting on play action best will win... so getting that running game going, and then beating the defenses with passes.
If we run the set with D Smith in the middle, i.e. potential 5 rushers, then we can stunt, slash and game our way to him.

Brady's weakness has been pressure from the interior, so Z. Smith up the middle might be a great idea, and they have done that with 4 rushers too... with P. Smith and Gary each at an edge and Clark and Z. Smith in the middle. Clearly they'll be running it, but Buccaneers have struggled to run the ball on most teams and Packers have been a bit better at that. But that's certainly a change up that the Buccaneers might not be able to quickly answer (if Packers can stop the run out of it).
Though I expect the Packers to start normal, and see what they can do with Clark and Lowry there, as they've been playing a hell lot better the last couple of weeks and it keeps the edge rushers rotation freasher for the entire game.
