Pros

THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 3rd-highest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 130.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Arizona Cardinals have run the most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 68.7 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Eno Benjamin to garner 15.1 carries in this game, on average, putting him in the 84th percentile among RBs.
The New Orleans Saints have stacked the box against opponents on just 13.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-least in the NFL. Choosing not to position an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.

Cons

This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
Eno Benjamin’s ground efficiency (3.75 yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the NFL this year (18th percentile among RBs).
The New Orleans Saints linebackers project as the 6th-best collection of LBs in football this year in regard to defending the run.
The Arizona Cardinals have used some form of misdirection on a mere 34.3% of their plays since the start of last season (least in football), which likely makes the offense more predictable and less effective.
