At a -6.5-point disadvantage, the Giants are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of a focus on passing than their normal game plan.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.When talking about run-blocking (and the importance it has on all ground game statistics), the O-line of the New York Giants grades out as the 8th-worst in the league last year.Matt Breida's running effectiveness has declined this season, totaling just 2.57 adjusted yards-per-carry vs a 3.75 figure last season.The New Orleans Saints linebackers profile as the 2nd-best unit in the league this year when it comes to defending the run.
