THE BLITZ projects the San Francisco 49ers as the 9th-most pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 62.9% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.Jauan Jennings has been less involved as a potential target this season (49.4% Route% in games he has played) than he did last season (37.9%).The San Francisco 49ers O-line ranks as the 10th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the passer, which has a strong effect on all passing offense statistics across the board.The New Orleans Saints cornerbacks rank as the worst group of CBs in the NFL this year in covering receivers.
