Not to be taken lightly. They have a lot to play for. But a few notes:
Saints RB are averaging only 3.5 YPC this year. Only QB Tayson Hill is producing well (4.9 YPC) as a runner.
WR Olave is easily their biggest passing game threat (72 catches, 918 yards and 4 TD).
Saints defense has allowed just a 74.4 opposing QB rating this year, 2nd best in the NFL, and 6.2 YPA (t-5th). But based on their schedule (strength of schedule is 31st) they have played a lot of bad/young opposing QBs (Tannehill, Bryce Young twice, Mac Jones, Tyson Bagent, Desmond Ridder, Tommy DeVito, etc.).
Saints QB pressure rate is 25th in the league (Rams are 29th).
Saints run defense is bottom 10 in yards/carry (27th) and yards/game (24th).
Saints are 3-0 when their defense forces 3+ turnovers. They are 4-7 otherwise.
Saints kicker Blake Grupe is 27th in FG% (78.1%). Rams kickers combined are 74.4% this season.
