Saints at Bears: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Saints 27, Bears 17

Money line (?)

The Saints are favored in this game despite being on the road. As close as their recent wins have been, they’ve been more impressive than the Bears. Take the SAINTS (-239) to win outright.

Against the spread (?)

The Saints have not been very good at covering the spread this season, doing so in just two of their six games. The Bears have been much better, but it’s hard to feel good about Chicago keeping this one close enough to cover. Take the SAINTS (-5.5) to win by at least six points.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is only 42.5, likely in part because Chicago’s defense has been stout through the first seven weeks. The Saints have struggled against the pass, but Chicago will have trouble running the ball and QB Nick Foles hasn’t exactly looked sharp throwing it. The total will come UNDER (42.5) in this tilt.

Panthers at Saints game notes

  • The Chicago Bears cooled off the Panthers last week at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, winning 23-16 to snap Carolina’s three-game win and cover streak. The Panthers’ 16 points marked a season low for offensive production, too.
  • The Panthers hit the Under for the fourth consecutive week in the loss to the bears, and they’re allowing just 19.0 PPG across the past four after yielding 32.5 PPG in the first two outings.
  • New Orleans is coming off its bye. Before the rest, they had won a pair of games, including a 30-27 overtime win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.
  • The Saints have been the opposite of the Panthers, hitting the Over in each of their five outings this season. New Orleans has scored at least 24 points in every game, and at least 30 points in four contests.
  • Defense isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when discussing the Saints, but they rank a solid eighth in total yards allowed (337.4) and sixth in rushing yards allowed (100.2) per game.

Panthers at Saints: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Saints 31, Panthers 27

Money line (?)

The Saints (-345) are expected to win this game, but it will be a lot closer than most people are thinking. Risking more than three times your potential return in a divisional game is not wise gambling. AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

The PANTHERS +7 (-110) are a strong play in this divisional road game. The road team has cashed in 27 of the previous 38 in this series, and Carolina plays particularly well in the Crescent City. The Panthers are 15-5 ATS in their past 20 trips to the Big Easy, with the underdog hitting in 10 of the past 12 in the series.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 49.5 (-115) is a sound wager despite Carolina trending to the Under lately. In fact, the Over has cashed in each of the past seven meetings in New Orleans, and six of the previous seven in this series overall. New Orleans is the only team in the NFL to hit the Over in each of its games without any Under results or pushes, and that streak will continue at least one more week.
