The Saints So Far in 2018
Following a shaky start, the Saints came through last week against the Browns with an unconvincing three-point victory. Defensively the Saints were awful in Week 1 and their offense was bad in Week 2. It's not unusual in recent times for New Orleans to start the season slow however.
The Saints 2018-2019 Odds
They are at 18-1 odds to win the 2019 Super Bowl and slightly better than 2-1 to win the division. This one is very open so those are decent odds. We'd rather see something closer to 3-1 though.
The Falcons-Saints Trends and Predictions
Atlanta is very banged up coming into this game. No LB Deion Jones, S Keanu Neal, RB Devonta Freeman or G Andy Levitre. New Orleans beat the Falcons last time out but Atlanta won the previous three.
The Falcons should be at -4.5 based on the NFL Betting Power Ratings when not considering injuries. These absences are likely worth more than a point-and-a-half difference.
We say take New Orleans at this good number -3 here.
