The predictive model expects this game to see the 2nd-highest number of plays run among all games this week at 137.5 plays, based on the traits of each team and game dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally correlate with increased passing effectiveness, increased TD potential, increased air attack volume, and lower ground volume.Opposing QBs have averaged 36.8 pass attempts per game against the Saints defense this year: 6th-most in the league.The predictive model expects Josh Jacobs to accrue 3.2 targets in this contest, on average, placing him in the 75th percentile among RBs.When it comes to protecting the quarterback (and the positive impact it has on all passing game metrics), the O-line of the Green Bay Packers profiles as the 9th-best in the league this year.
