Kamara rushed for 70 yards on 15 carries last week against the Bills despite a negative game script. The five-time Pro Bowler also rushed for 99 yards in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. He should see a bigger workload than usual this week since the lowly Saints might actually play with a neutral or positive game script. The Saints are 2.5-point home favorites against a 1-3 Giants team that is starting a rookie QB and just lost it's best player (WR Malik Nabers) to a season-ending injury. The Giants are last in the NFL in defensive rush success rate while ranking second-last in yards allowed per carry (6.1).
The Saints also represent a notable downtick in class on both sides of the ball for the Giants, and I expect New York to put points on the board with New Orleans allowing the sixth-highest EPA per play while ranking 30th in defensive DVOA and 27th in PFF defense grade. New York also has the personnel on defense to limit the New Orleans offense, and in particular, I expect the Giants to have success generating pressure and giving Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler fits behind a suspect offensive line.
New York has been up against the toughest slate of QB competition in the land to start the season, facing Jayden Daniels, Dak Prescott, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert. Now, the Giants’ stop unit takes on Saints passer Spencer Rattler. That’s like going from a hip-hop beef with Kendrick Lamar to a freestyle battle with Darren Waller. New York’s pass rush is dangerous. Shane Bowen has a versatile front seven that is generating pressure at the ninth highest rate and ranks No. 5 in pass rush rating at PFF. The Giants have scored 18 QB hits and 10 sacks behind a successful scheme mixing blitz and four-man rush.
