The model projects this game to see the 4th-smallest number of plays run out of all the games this week at 128.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The passing attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may go down.While Jamaal Williams has earned 31.4% of his team's rushing play calls in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a much smaller piece of New Orleans's ground game in this game at 16.9%.Jamaal Williams's 29.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this season conveys a meaningful reduction in his rushing skills over last season's 66.0 figure.Jamaal Williams's ground effectiveness has worsened this year, totaling just 3.02 adjusted yards-per-carry compared to a 4.35 rate last year.
