Saints 31, Colts 20
Moneyline (?)
It’s hard to fathom a way in which the Saints lose this game, especially being at home and coming off a 48-46 loss to the 49ers. The Colts are really struggling right now and shouldn’t pose much of a threat to the Saints.
Bet the SAINTS (-455) to win outright on Monday night and defend their home turf.
New to sports betting? A successful $10 wager on the Saints to win would return a profit of $2.20.
Against the Spread (?)
The Saints come into this one as 9.5-point home favorites over the Colts. Three of the Saints’ last five wins have come by at least 11 points, so they’re plenty capable of winning handily.
Take the SAINTS -9.5 (-106) to cover the spread and beat the Colts by at least 10 points.
Over/Under (?)
The over/under of 45.5 points is certainly a reachable number, considering the Saints have scored at least 26 points in each of their last four games, and just put up 46 on the 49ers’ top defense.
Take the OVER (-125) because this game has a good chance of topping 50 total points.
