THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 3rd-highest volume of plays run among all games this week at 130.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.THE BLITZ projects Tre'Quan Smith to be a much bigger part of his offense's pass attack near the end zone this week (12.4% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (5.3% in games he has played).Tre'Quan Smith has totaled far more air yards this season (55.0 per game) than he did last season (46.0 per game).The New Orleans Saints offensive line grades out as the 6th-best in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a strong effect on all air attack statistics across the board.
