Key Factors
Favors Over
The Saints are a big 8.5-point underdog in this week's game, indicating an extreme passing game script.
Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Saints to pass on 60.5% of their chances: the 5th-greatest clip among all teams this week.
The model projects the Saints to be the 10th-most pass-heavy offense in football near the goal line (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 57.5% red zone pass rate.
Our trusted projections expect this game to have the 4th-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 131.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Saints have run the 3rd-most plays in football since the start of last season, averaging a staggering 60.4 plays per game.
Favors Under
New Orleans's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially propped up a bit (and rushing stats decreased) due to playing the 6th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league. We figure to be able to expect some correction with windier conditions in this game.
Our trusted projections expect Alvin Kamara to be much less involved in his offense's air attack near the goal line in this game (6.4% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been last year (12.2% in games he has played).
The receiving touchdown field reads "0" on Alvin Kamara's player page last year.
The Ravens defensive ends rank as the 3rd-best unit in the league last year with their run defense.
