5*
(NFL) New Orleans vs. Seattle,
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
New Orleans plays very well on MNF cashing their last 5 and well rested. Sproles is back tonight for the Saints which is huge for Special Teams and out of the backfield. Brees is having a spectacular season and I like him as an underdog here tonight to pull the upset. New Orleans has won three straight, but it's had to squeak out the last two by a combined seven points. After setting a franchise record with 625 total yards three weeks ago in a 49-17 win over Dallas, the offense has been less-than-stellar the past two weeks, but the Saints still rank third in the NFL in total yards per game and second in passing yards. The defense, often a weakness for New Orleans, has been rejuvenated under coordinator Rob Ryan and has allowed more than 400 total yards only once all season. Saints are playing as well as anyone right now with only losses to Jets by 6 and improbable loss to New England, so we will grab points here tonight. The game played on Turf and the Saints offense is very explosive.
