Pick Against the Spread
I'm taking the points with the Saints. While the offense is banged up, this is a good spot for New Orleans after firing Dennis Allen. Our NFL Luck Rankings also indicate that the Saints are due for positive regression.
Over/Under Prediction
I have no bet on this game's total.
Moneyline
I'm not getting ahead of myself and betting on the Saints moneyline. I'll simply take the points as long as we're getting more than a field goal.
My pick: Saints +3.5 (-105)
How To Bet Falcons vs. Saints Picks
This is a scary bet to make. The Saints have been allergic to winning and covering of late, but I think last week’s loss to the Panthers was rock bottom. They’ve lost seven straight games after a 2-0 start, but Spencer Rattler started three of those games and you can throw those out.
A big reason I’m backing New Orleans here is our NFL Luck Rankings. The Falcons are third, while the Saints are dead last. Not much has gone New Orleans’ way so far this season since those first two weeks.
A good example of that is these teams’ first matchup this season. The Saints were the dominant team in that game, but the Falcons got two defensive touchdowns and won on a last-second field goal.
The situation on the Saints offense is not great in terms of the receivers available for Derek Carr. Chris Olave will be out after suffering another concussion last week, while Rashid Shaheed and Bub Means are on injured reserve.
The teams that really give this Saints offense trouble are those that can put pressure on Carr, who struggles when he’s put off his spot in the pocket. Well, the Falcons are second worst in the NFL in terms of generating pressure on the opposing quarterback. Carr can move the ball efficiently when he’s upright, although it might not be pretty with few explosive plays.
You can run on the Falcons, though, which is good for the Saints with their go-to playmaker. Alvin Kamara has been taking on a huge workload of late and ran for 155 yards last week.
I’ve also never been a fan of Dennis Allen as a head coach. He punted on a key fourth-and-short situation last week, and Bryce Young – Bryce Young! – led Carolina down the field for a game-winning touchdown.
I think highly enough of this Saints team that getting more than a field goal is something I’m very interested in this week with Allen out of the picture.
Pick: Saints +3.5 (-105)
