The Saints are a 3.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to a rushing game script.Based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Saints to pass on 53.3% of their chances: the 7th-lowest rate on the slate this week.The New Orleans Saints have run the 10th-fewest plays in football this year, averaging a mere 55.0 plays per game.Juwan Johnson has posted quite a few less air yards this year (13.0 per game) than he did last year (37.0 per game).As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the ramifications it has on all passing game stats), the O-line of the New Orleans Saints ranks as the worst in the league this year.
