The leading projections forecast the New Orleans Saints as the 8th-least run-centric team among all teams this week with a 40.2% run rate, accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The pass attacks of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may drop-off.Taysom Hill has run for quite a few less adjusted yards per game (32.0) this year than he did last year (39.0).This year, the weak Minnesota Vikings run defense has yielded a whopping 3.78 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to opposing teams: the 27th-worst rate in football.When it comes to the defensive tackles' role in defending against the run, Minnesota's DT corps has been excellent this year, projecting as the 4th-best in the league.
