FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The Saints are a 5.5-point favorite in this week's contest, likely leading to a rushing game script.

THE BLITZ projects the New Orleans Saints as the 8th-least pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 55.1% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.

The New Orleans Saints have called the 10th-least plays in football since the start of last season, averaging a measly 60.9 plays per game.
