The model projects the Saints to be the 9th-least run-centric team among all teams this week with a 40.0% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may decline.While Jamaal Williams has earned 37.2% of his offense's rushing play calls in games he has played this year, the predictive model expects him to be a less important option in New Orleans's rushing attack this week at 19.9%.Jamaal Williams's 2.7 adjusted yards per carry this year conveys a remarkable drop-off in his rushing skills over last year's 4.4 figure.When it comes to the defensive ends' role in defending against the run, Indianapolis's unit has been exceptional this year, projecting as the 5th-best in football.
