Saints -4 as the enter in a must win situation also needing a 49ers loss to make the playoffs. The earlier matchup went the Falcons way 27-25. Scoring has been a problem for the Saints as of late scoring less than 20 in the last 3 games. The Saints 300.5 yards per game would be the fewest YPG for a team to make the playoffs since 2010. They have had a resurgence with Taysom Hill at QB winning 3 of 4 games, the loss he was out with COVID. History in Atlanta does bode well for the Saints, they have won 3 straight road games vs the Falcons.
Matt Ryan is 10-16, 5-7 at home, for his career vs. New Orleans with 46 TD and 18 INT. The Falcons have lost 6 straight games vs teams entering with 8 or more wins. There have been times when the Falcons have looked like they haven’t shown up at all and scored less than 10 points.
With this lineup for the Saints I’m not sure if they have enough offense to cover here, my prediction 24-20 Falcons.
