Our trusted projections expect this game to see the largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 137.5 plays, given the traits of each team and game dynamics.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (meaning no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may drop-off.In regards to protecting the passer (and the positive effect it has on all air attack metrics), the O-line of the Atlanta Falcons grades out as the 6th-best in football this year.The Saints pass defense has yielded the 2nd-highest Adjusted Completion% in the NFL (87.9%) versus running backs this year (87.9%).When it comes to defensive ends pass-rushing, New Orleans's DE corps has been lousy this year, grading out as the 8th-worst in the NFL.
