Blitz Edge: why the model likes New Orleans Saints

The model gives New Orleans Saints a 51% chance to win this one. The biggest factors: NO's pass offense (#4) has a 18-spot edge over ARI's pass defense (#22), and NO's total offense (#9) has a 15-spot edge over ARI's total defense (#24).

Home field adds a small extra boost on top of that. ARI is also dealing with James Conner (RB) listed as out, which tips things further NO's way.
