Falcons at Saints picks and predictions
Prediction
Saints 24, Falcons 17
Moneyline
Go ahead and AVOID taking the moneyline in this game as the Saints are solid favorites at home. The odds for New Orleans to win aren’t worth taking considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Saints secure the victory.
Against the spread
SAINTS -4 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game with the Falcons rolling out a rookie quarterback. There’s a chance New Orleans gets Jordan and Lattimore back on defense, so the Saints could have a nearly fully healthy defense Sunday.
The Falcons are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss, and they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings against the Saints.
Over/Under
Considering how these teams prefer to play, UNDER 43.5 (-108) is an enticing wager in this matchup. The Falcons prefer to run the ball often, and with a rookie quarterback, they likely won’t change that Sunday.
The Falcons are 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 games while the Saints are 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 games. Also, the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Falcons, and the Saints when the game is in New Orleans.
