The Saints are a 4-point underdog in this week's contest, which points towards a passing game script.The predictive model expects the Saints as the 4th-least run-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 37.3% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.In this game, Derek Carr is projected by the predictive model to earn the 2nd-fewest rush attempts out of all QBs with 1.6. Comprising a measly 4.0% of his offense's run game usage this year (16th percentile among QBs), Derek Carr's lack of speed makes him no threat in the run game.
