Pace and playcalling

This game will likely be slow and quite run-heavy. Since Week 12, New Orleans and Atlanta are 25th and 27th in neutral pace. In their last six games, they are also ninth (NO, 47.2%) and tenth (ATL, 46.5%) in neutral rushing rates. Atlanta will be forced to pass more this week with the strength of the Saints’ run defense, but it’s debatable how much.
