The Saints march into town with a considerable limp, losers of 5 straight games after a 33-10 thrashing by the Denver Broncos in the Week 7 Thursday game. The Saints were 2.5-point home underdogs and the Over (37) hit. They were missing their starting QB, top 2 WRs, TE and multiple starters on the O-line. RB Alvin Kamara rushed 7 times for 10 yards and caught 6 balls for a futile 14 yards.

The Chargers dropped their Week 7 game on Monday Night Football 17-15 at the 1-point dog Arizona Cardinals — the Under (44.5) cashed. QB Justin Herbert threw for 349 yards but couldn’t put it into the end zone. RB J.K. Dobbins had a pedestrian 40 yards on 14 carries and caught 3 balls for 26 yards. The Bolts have lost 3 of 4.
