The Saints are an enormous 7.5-point underdog in this week's contest, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.The weather forecast calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and lower run volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.The projections expect Alvin Kamara to be much less involved in his offense's ground game in this game (48.0% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (65.8% in games he has played).Alvin Kamara checks in as one of the worst running backs in football at picking up extra ground yardage, averaging a mere 2.23 yards-after-contact this year while grading out in the 10th percentile.Opposing squads have run for the 9th-fewest adjusted yards in the league (just 108.0 per game) against the Los Angeles Chargers defense this year.
