Key Factors
Favors Over
The Saints are a 5.5-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a rushing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Saints to call the 3rd-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 67.1 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The New Orleans Saints offensive line profiles as the 8th-best in the league this year at opening holes for runners.
The Seattle Seahawks defensive ends project as the 2nd-worst DE corps in football this year in regard to run defense.
Favors Under
This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
THE BLITZ projects Mark Ingram to be much less involved in his team's run game this week (22.1% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (34.1% in games he has played).
The New Orleans Saints have gone up against a stacked the box on 23.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-most in the league. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Seattle Seahawks have stacked the box versus opponents on 19.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in the league. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The New Orleans Saints have gone no-huddle on a mere 2.3% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (2nd-least in the NFL). This slows down the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.
