Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (2-7) and the New Orleans Saints (3-7) meet Sunday for a Week 11 game at Caesars Superdome. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Browns vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns suffered a 27-10 loss at home against the L.A. Chargers in Week 9 before the bye week. It splashed cold water on the team’s momentum after a shocking 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 as a 7-point underdog in the first start by QB Jameis Winston.

Winston returns to New Orleans, where he spent 4 seasons from 2020-23, playing in 21 games. His finest season as a Saint came in 2021 when he threw for 1,170 yards, 14 touchdowns and 3 interceptions with a career-best 102.8 QB Rating.

The Browns are 1-3 straight up (SU) and 2-2 against the spread (ATS) in 4 road games this season, while going 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in 4 games against NFC opponents. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games, and 6-2 in the previous 8 outings.

The Saints halted a 7-game losing streak with a 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons last weekend as a 3.5-point underdog as the Under (47) cashed.

New Orleans is winless in 3 tries against AFC foes in 2024, while going 0-3 ATS. At home, the Saints are 1-3 SU/ATS in the past 4 tries, while the Over is 3-2 in 5 games at Caesars Superdome this season.

Browns at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 22, Browns 19

Moneyline

SAINTS (-104) are worth a look as short ‘dogs at home.

While the Browns (-112) are rested and healthy, coming off a bye in Week 10, this is a team which was spanked the last time we saw them against the Chargers at home.

New Orleans heads into this game with a little momentum after finding a way to get the job done against Atlanta last weekend.

Against the spread

Backing Saints +1.5 (-120) makes absolutely no sense unless you’re totally convinced that the Browns -1.5 (-102) will win, but only by a single point.

If you like New Orleans, AVOID, and simply bet the Saints straight up on the moneyline for a much better value.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-112) might be the best play on the board in this Week 11 offering.

The Cleveland offense has scored 18 or fewer points in all but one of its games to date. On the road, Cleveland is averaging just 15.7 PPG, while the Under is 3-1 in those 4 outings.

For New Orleans, the offense has managed just 15.0 PPG in the past 4 games, while the defense has allowed 26 or fewer points in 3 in a row.

Atlanta has won back-to-back games after handling the Dallas Cowboys 27-21 Nov. 3, covering as a 3.5-point home favorite.

New Orleans has lost 7 games in a row after falling 23-22 at the Carolina Panthers Sunday as a 7-point favorite. QB Derek Carr was 18-of-31 passing for 236 yards with a TD while RB Alvin Kamara carried the ball 29 times for 155 yards.

Prediction

Falcons 34, Saints 28

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal vaule on the Falcons (-200) to beat a struggling Saints team Sunday.

Against the spread

BET FALCONS -3.5 (-115).

New Orleans is riddled with injuries heading into Week 10. It has failed to cover 5 straight games, scoring 13 or fewer points in 3 of the 5.

Atlanta has won and covered back-to-back games and scored 27 or more points in both victories.

Over/Under

The Falcons have been hot offensively, scoring 26 or more points in 5 of their last 6 games, while their defense has struggled, allowing 20 or more in every game since Week 1. Atlanta has hit the Over in 4 of its last 6 games.

The Saints have allowed 23 or more points in each of their last 6 games.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-6) meet the Carolina Panthers (1-7) on Sunday for a Week 9 matchup at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Saints vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints were humbled 26-8 on the road against the LA Chargers in Week 8, losing for the 6th consecutive game. New Orleans is also 0-4 against the spread (ATS) since a cover at Atlanta in Week 4.

The good news for New Orleans is that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is expected to play after leaving the Week 5 game in Kansas City due to an oblique injury. He has missed the past 3 games, while QBs Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener have managed to total 18 points in the past 2 outings.

The Panthers are back to QB Bryce Young for a second straight week. He made the start last week after QB Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb in a minor fender bender during the week. Young tossed 2 TDs in a 28-14 loss in Denver.

These teams met in Week 1, with the Saints rolling up a 47-10 beatdown of the Panthers as a 3.5-point favorite in the Caesars Superdome.

Saints at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 26, Panthers 18

Moneyline

The Saints (-350) will set you back 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough return. Backing such a heavy favorite on the road is not a recommended long-term betting strategy, either as a straight-up bet or as part of a multi-leg parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SAINTS -7 (-110) are the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

New Orleans pasted Carolina in Week 1 down in the Big Easy, but that was when everyone was healthy. Carr is back, which is great news, but WR Rashid Shaheed was lost for the season during the QB’s absence. Carr and Shaheed hooked up for the first TD of the season against the Panthers on a long pass play.

The Saints offense is a bit dinged up, but it should still be able to do enough, especially with Kamara leading the way, to get the job done.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-110) is also worth playing very lightly.

Carr and the offense should be able to pick up plenty of points against a very giving Carolina defense, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see some rust early on from the New Orleans signal caller.

Still, the Over has cashed in 6 of 8 games for Carolina this season, including 2-1 in 3 home games at Bank of America Stadium.

New Orleans Saints at LA Chargers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at LA Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-5) and LA Chargers (3-3) meet in Week 8 Sunday. Kickoff from Highmark Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Saints vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints dropped their 5th straight game in Week 7, losing 33-10 to the Denver Broncos at home. They missed the 2.5-point cover as the Over (37) hit. New Orleans’ defense, which has allowed 84 points over the last 2 games, allowed the Broncos to rush for 225 yards. QB Spencer Rattler lost 2 fumbles, including 1 returned for a TD, before being replaced by QB Jake Haener, who threw a late TD to WR Cedric Wilson.

The Chargers lost 17-15 to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, their 3rd loss in the last 4 games. They failed to cover as a 1-point road favorite while the Under (44.5) easily cashed. Offensively, L.A. could only muster 5 field goals from K Cameron Dicker, including 2 from over 50 yards. Despite QB Justin Herbert throwing for a season-high 349 yards (27-of-39), the Chargers struggled to contain the Cardinals’ ground game, allowing an average of 6.2 yards per carry and 181 yards total.

Saints at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 24, Saints 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Chargers (-350) will take care of business on Sunday against a beat-up Saints squad. I’m not interested in betting more than 3 units to win 1, I’ll take my bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET CHARGERS -7 (-115).

The Saints are struggling as they approach the season’s midpoint. Carr’s status remains uncertain, as he has yet to practice without pain. The loss of WR Rashid Shaheed for the season is a major setback for the Saints’ offense, which struggled without his deep-threat ability, evident in their underwhelming performance against Denver, averaging less than six yards per pass play.

Meanwhile, the Chargers’ top-ranked defense should dominate against a Saints’ offense that lacks explosive playmaking. Defensively, New Orleans has faltered, now ranked last in total defense and 26th in scoring defense. The Chargers have shown they can move the ball, but have struggled to finish drives. Against a porous Saints defense, those issues should ease. Expect the Chargers to set the tempo, pressure the Saints QB, and build a lead, allowing them to control the game through their rushing attack.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 41 (-110).

The Chargers have hit the Under in 5 of their 6 games this season, largely due to their stifling defense, which allows just 13.8 points per game—the lowest in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Saints have struggled offensively, averaging 17.2 points over their last 5 games and scoring under 15 in 2 of their last 3. Opponents are keying in on stopping RB Alvin Kamara, forcing rookie backup QB Rattler to beat them through the air. With LA’s focus on running the ball and controlling the clock, expect another low-scoring game.

BET BRONCOS -2.5 (-115).

Denver has won 3 of its last 4 games while scoring 26 or more points in 2 of the 4. Two of its last 3 wins have come by 16 or more points. It faces a struggling New Orleans team that has lost 4 games in a row and is riddled with injuries.

Without the likes of Carr and Olave, the Saints have struggled to stay competitive. Their defense has allowed 26 or more points in each of the last 3 games, with the team losing by 13 or more in back-to-back weeks.

Denver has hit the Over in back-to-back games. It has scored 16 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and allowed 18 or more in back-to-back weeks.

Buccaneers at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Saints 20

Moneyline

PASS.

The Buccaneers will pick up the win here as -185 favorites, especially with QB Spencer Rattler getting the start thanks to a Derek Carr injury, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites.

I recommend passing here and betting he spread and/or O/U instead, but if you are okay with the risk of betting on a -185 favorite, then you can divvy up units between the ML and spread.

Against the spread

LEAN BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-105).

Tampa Bay is the better team and has beaten tougher opponents like Detroit and Philadelphia, so I do expect the Buccaneers to be able to win by at least 4 points against a reeling New Orleans squad.

This is a lean because I do expect this New Orleans offense to look slightly better with Rattler playing and divisional matchups tend to be very close finishes.

Over/Under

BET OVER 42 (-110).

The Over has hit in each of Tampa Bay’s last 2 games and is 3-2 for both squads so far this season.

The Buccaneers showed that their passing defense is exploitable in their last outing, and with Rattler at the helm, the Saints’ offense should be more dynamic in the passing game and be able to push this game to hit the Over.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-2) and Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) meet in the Week 5 Monday Night Football game. Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Saints vs. Chiefs odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions..

The Saints dropped a tough 26-24 game at the Atlanta Falcons last week on a last-second field goal. Despite the loss, New Orleans covered as a 2.5-point underdog and the Over (43) hit. QB Derek Carr (28 of 36, 239 passing yards, 1 INT) didn’t find the end zone, but RB Alvin Kamara stood out again, racking up 119 total yards (77 rushing, 42 receiving) and a touchdown.

The Chiefs moved to 4-0, covering as 6.5-point favorites in a 17-10 win at the LA Chargers in Week 4 — with the Under (42) cashing. TE Travis Kelce led the way with 89 receiving yards on 7 catches, while RB Kareem Hunt impressed in his return, racking up 69 yards on 14 carries (4.9 yards per carry). Kansas City’s balanced effort kept its perfect record intact.

Saints at Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 20, Chiefs 17

Moneyline

BET SAINTS (+200).

This Monday Night Football game has seen significant line movement, with the Chiefs opening at -6.5 but dropping fast. Kansas City sits at 4-0, but its offense is in trouble. With RB Isiah Pacheco and WR Rashee Rice out — both on the Injured Reserve list — QB Patrick Mahomes is carrying too much weight, and now the Chiefs face a strong Saints defense.

The New Orleans offense has turned a corner under new OC Klint Kubiak. The Saints lead the league in scoring (31.8 points per game) and run attempts (34.5 per game), while Carr is thriving, ranking top-5 in yards per pass (8.2) and completion rate (71.3%). Despite 2 tough losses, their defense has remained solid, and Carr’s experience against the Chiefs could be crucial.

With Kansas City’s injuries piling up, there’s good value in backing NEW ORLEANS (+200), even on the money line.

Against the spread

PASS.

If you want to play it safe, you can take the 5.5 points with New Orleans, but I’m riding on the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 43 (-110).

The total for this game dropped from 45.5 to 42.5, highlighting the offensive struggles on both sides. Kansas City is thin at receiver with Rice out and Kelce heavily covered (just 39.5 yards per game). Rookie WR Xavier Worthy isn’t ready to be the top target, and Hunt’s role remains uncertain. Even with Mahomes, the Chiefs may need to rely on their defense.

Carr and the Saints face a tough task as well. Kansas City’s defense is stout against the run (3.8 yards per carry allowed) and strong in the red zone. Carr has struggled at Arrowhead, averaging 227 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT per game in his last 7 starts there. Even with new playmakers, DC Steve Spagnuolo’s defense will be tough for New Orleans to crack.

Expect a low-scoring, defensive matchup with both teams focused on ball control.

Saints at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 17, Saints 15

Moneyline

BET FALCONS (-150).

Atlanta has played stiff competition to start its season and looked solid in its last 2 games, but I expect the Falcons to look even better this week because of the desperation of not wanting to start 1-3. If Robinson plays, the Falcons will be able to ride their defense and run game to victory.

Against the spread

LEAN SAINTS +3 (-115).

This will be a defensive battle, and New Orleans has looked like the better team to start the season. While I do think the Saints’ offense will look more mortal, like it did last week, it should still be productive enough to keep this one close.

This is a lean because I could see this being decided by a field goal, so the margin for error is extremely small.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 41.5 (-115).

The Under has hit in each of Atlanta’s first 3 games this season and hit in New Orleans’ last outing.

These are both teams that make their name on defense, and with my prediction that the Saints’ offense will continue coming back to Earth, the Under should be an easy play here.

Eagles at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 27, Saints 14

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Eagles to pick up the win here as +125 underdogs, and even though I think they win handily, I feel more confident betting on the spread.

Against the spread

BET EAGLES +3 (-120).

Philadelphia is the better team with the more reliable offense, and I expect the Saints to come back down to Earth after riding high on their 1st 2 wins. I like the Eagles to come away with the victory, but even if they lose, expect for this to be a close game in which Carr struggles.

Be aware that the Eagles are only 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 dating back to last season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Philadelphia’s defense is questionable, but I expect the Eagles’ secondary to see a lot of success vs. this Saints squad that has a lot of unproven receivers. Both teams will likely be able to run the ball with some success, but I don’t expect either squad to put up enough points for this game to reach 50 points.

This is only a lean because it’s hard to ignore that the Saints have scored 40-plus points in each of their 1st 2 games.
