The 2nd-most plays in the league have been run by the Saints this year (a monstrous 65.5 per game on average).The passing attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may go down.Opposing offenses have averaged 39.0 pass attempts per game vs. the Chicago Bears defense this year: 6th-most in the NFL.With an exceptional 87.6% Route Participation% (80th percentile) this year, Michael Thomas has been among the wideouts with the biggest workloads in the NFL.In this week's contest, Michael Thomas is projected by the predictive model to find himself in the 76th percentile among WRs with 6.9 targets.
