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.

Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (3-4) are on the road in Week 9 facing a division opponent in the New Orleans Saints (5-2), who have won three games in a row. Their game Sunday afternoon kicks off at 1 p.m. ET at Caesars Superdome. Below, we look at the Falcons vs. Saints odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Falcons are coming off a 19-13 loss at home to the Carolina Panthers. They mustered only 213 yards of offense, and QB Matt Ryan was picked off twice in the game. They had won three of their previous four games.

The Saints lost QB Jameis Winston for the rest of the season in their 36-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. He tore his ACL and QB Trevor Siemian finished the game with a touchdown pass, and S P.J. Williams returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown on the Bucs’ final drive, preventing them from winning the game.

Falcons at Saints odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saints 20, Falcons 17

Money line

Both teams have actually fared better on the road than at home this season. The Falcons are 2-1 on the road, and the Saints are 2-1 at home but 3-1 on the road.

QB Matt Ryan is 9-16 in his career against the Saints, and the Saints have won six of the last seven contests. The Falcons offense is inconsistent. They have scored at least 30 twice but 17 or fewer three times.

The Saints allow the fourth-fewest points in the league, giving up only 18.3 per game. Even with no Winston at quarterback, the Saints’ defense will carry them.

Take the SAINTS (-270).

Against the spread

The Saints are 4-3 ATS while the Falcons are 3-4 ATS.

The Saints at 1-1 ATS at home this season. The Falcons are 2-1 ATS on the road.

However, the Saints will rely on the defense and running game, which will lead to a closer outcome, even if the Saints ultimately win the game.

Take the FALCONS +5.5 (-103).

Over/Under

The Saints only allow 18.3 points per game. The Falcons are only averaging 21.1 points per game.

The Saints do average 25.1 per contest but that will surely drop with the change to Siemian at quarterback, where the running game will become much more important.

Take UNDER 41.5 (-115).

Falcons at Saints: Game notes

Saints QB Drew Brees (ribs, lung, shoulder) is expected to miss the next 2-3 games due to his multiple injuries. It has been reported QB/TE Taysom Hill will draw the Week 11 start under center. He has completed 10 of 18 pass attempts for 205 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in his career.
Hill’s still getting the nod over official backup – and former No. 1 draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – QB Jameis Winston, who completed 6 of 10 passes for 63 yards in relief of Brees last week.
The Falcons come off a Week 10 bye which came on the heels of their first two-game winning streak of the season. They’re 3-1 under interim head coach Raheem Morris after an 0-5 start.
The Saints beat the San Francisco 49ers 27-13 at home last week to extend their winning streak to six games.
The two rivals split their head-to-head series last season, with each team winning on the road. Atlanta beat New Orleans 26-9 at the Superdome in Week 10 with QB Matt Ryan throwing for 182 yards and 2 TDs with a pick.

Falcons at Saints: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Falcons 24, Saints 23

Money line (?)

The Saints reported decision to go with Hill over Winston, who has 19,812 yards and 121 touchdowns in 74 games (70 starts), is surprising. As such, the FALCONS (+155) are in an excellent spot for a road upset of their most hated division rival.

Atlanta is getting WR Calvin Ridley back from injury and is at relatively full health following its bye. The Saints enter the week atop the NFC South, while the Falcons essentially need to run the table to have a shot at the postseason. They’ll win a third straight contest to keep hope alive heading into a stretch of playing three of four games at home.

Against the spread (?)

The spread has been plummeting toward the Falcons since the news broke on Hill’s expected start. Atlanta was being spotted 5 points Thursday evening.

I like the FALCONS +3.5 (-110) to win outright as the primary play on this game, so we may as well add the 3 points of insurance in a potential loss. Both teams are 4-5 ATS.

Over/Under (?)

Again, this selection is heavily based on Hill drawing the start over Winston. Winston has long been a friend to Over bettors with his ability to throw down field and his propensity for turnovers to set up points for the opposition.

Expect a simpler game plan for Hill’s first start as a quarterback and a heavy lean on the Alvin Kamara-led run game for the Saints. Back the UNDER 49.5 (-106).
