The top five team statistics to watch for Sunday: Saints vs. Raiders

By Dean Mullen

The Saints will want to do well on third down conversions. Anything over 40% would be pretty good. The top 10 last year finished between 40-47 percent. The important ones will be in the Red Zone inside the 20 yard line. The short yardage plays are going to be a key point in the game as well. Can the Saints get the push from the offensive line to get that extra yard? Time will tell. On both sides of the ball, this stat will be the one to keep an eye on.
