Monday Night Football betting odds had the New Orleans Saints a -3 favorite verses the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings have beaten New Orleans the last three meetings between these two teams.

Minnesota is 7-3 over New Orleans in the last 10.

The Vikings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.

The Saints are 7-16-1 ATS in their last 24 home games. Saints are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win.

The New Orleans Saints turned in their best defensive performance of the season last weekend, thanks to a particularly effective effort against the run. They're sure to be challenged in their next game as they try to contain one of the NFL's top running backs.

The Saints will have to contend with second-year star Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings when the teams meet at the Superdome in a Monday night matchup.

Though New Orleans (2-2) has surrendered 1,488 yards - the fifth-highest total in the league - through its first four contests, it has been better against the run, limiting opponents to 122.8 per game.

The Saints held San Francisco to a season-low 312 yards - 91 on the ground - in a 31-17 home victory on Sunday.

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
