Based on the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is forecasted by the projection model to see 142.5 offensive plays run: the most on the slate this week.The pass attacks of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop.When talking about pass protection (and the strong impact it has on all air attack statistics), the O-line of the Atlanta Falcons ranks as the 10th-best in the NFL this year.Opposing QBs have completed passes at the 9th-highest rate in the NFL versus the Saints defense this year (73.3% Adjusted Completion%).This year, the deficient Saints defense has surrendered a staggering 1.10 receiving TDs per game to opposing wideouts: the 8th-largest rate in the league.
