Favors Under

The Saints are a 3-point favorite this week, likely leading to a rushing game script.
THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 2nd-smallest volume of plays run among all games this week at 127.7 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The New Orleans Saints have run the 7th-least plays in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging a mere 55.3 plays per game.
The New Orleans Saints have played in the 7th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should result in reduced pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced pass game efficiency when facing windier conditions in this week's game.
The New Orleans Saints offensive line profiles as the worst in football since the start of last season in protecting the QB, which has a negative impact on all pass game stats across the board.
