The 49ers may pass less in this week's contest (and call more carries) since they be rolling with backup QB Mac Jones.The model projects this game to have the largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 133.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.The Saints defense has been a bit of pass funnel since the start of last season, compelling opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 7th-most passes in the league (34.1 per game) since the start of last season.While Jake Tonges has been responsible for 0.8% of his offense's targets in games he has played since the start of last season, the projections expect him to be much more involved in San Francisco's passing attack in this contest at 10.5%.
