Contents
The Patriots are hosting the Saints as a -1 point favorites at the Gillette Stadium. Check out our daily NFL player props page.
Prediction 1: Patriots to win @ -115 (1.85)
The Patriots are coming off a 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the worst one in Bill Belichick’s career. That is a huge blow for the 8-time NFL champion, and he will put a lot of pressure on his players to perform well in this game. The Saints are not in a much better position as their quarterback Derek Carr is coming off his worst performance of the season in the Saints’ 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. This is sort of a must-win game for the Patriots and Belichick will find a way to get the best out of his players and win this one.
Prediction 2: Under 39 points @ -110 (1.90)
Both teams have terrible offenses to start the season as both of them have gone over 20 points only once in the previous four games. The Saints are tied for 24th place with 15.5 points per game while the Patriots are 30th with 13.8. They both failed to score in double digits in the previous week and, even though, they can be worse than that, none team will score enough to take this game over 39 points in total.
