Key Factors

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

THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 4th-highest volume of plays run among all games this week at 131.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Philadelphia Eagles have called the 9th-most plays in the NFL this year, totaling a monstrous 59.9 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Miles Sanders to accumulate 21.7 rush attempts in this week's contest, on average, putting him in the 100th percentile among RBs.
Favors Under
The Philadelphia Eagles will be rolling with backup quarterback Gardner Minshew in this game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
The New Orleans Saints defensive ends project as the 4th-best group of DEs in football this year with their run defense.
The Philadelphia Eagles have gone up against a stacked the box on 18.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
