New Orleans -4, -210, +180(SEA) for Monday Night Football for what is expected to be a rainy night in Seattle. New Orleans coming off the bye week, Coach Payton 9-6 after the bye. They have averaged 30.1 after a bye weeks since 2011. Its been the prepared Winston who has not been throwing the ball 50 times a game and is making less mistakes and a much better touchdown to interception ratio.
Before you think the Saints are gonna go in and cover that number as 59% of the consensus money is on: Pete Carroll is 11-2 on Monday Night Football as a coach. Geno Smith still has weapons at receiver assuming DK Metcalf is able to give it a go after being questionable throughout the week. Carson will be a no-go with the neck injury again, however Collins went for over a hundred against Pittsburgh. Smith may have had issues with the fumble via ball punch, and may not be able to move quite like Wilson, but he is capable of making all the throws and is veteran.
Team totals 23.5(NO) and 19.5(SEA) for a combined 41. New Orleans 25 per game, Seattle 20 per game so far under Smith. The Saints have to feel that this should be a win, but the total at 41, the 77% chance of rain and heavy wind as well. New Orleans top in the league in run play percentage and with the weather it may be plenty of that from Seattle who is 12th in the league in run plays normally at only 42 percent.
Those are the stats and it seems like Seattle is too easy to overlook right here, I’m gonna pass on a wager, my prediction is Seattle and the under. The pass on the wager is where my confidence level is on that.
