A passing game script is indicated by the Saints being a -3.5-point underdog in this game.Our trusted projections expect the New Orleans Saints to be the 7th-least run-focused team on the slate this week with a 41.1% run rate, accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The pass games of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may drop-off.In this game, Derek Carr is forecasted by the predictive model to earn the 4th-fewest carries among all QBs with 1.6. Making up a mere 3.7% of his team's run game usage this year (19th percentile among quarterbacks), Derek Carr's immobility makes him no threat on the ground.
