The Saints are 36-15 ATS in their last 51 road games and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The Seahawks are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 Monday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC. The under is 6-2 in Saints last 8 games overall. The under is 4-0 in Seahawks last 4 games overall. The Saints are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
The New Orleans Saints have had an extra week to prepare for this game, but they’ve been hit or miss up to this point, and a 31st ranked passing offense makes them very one dimensional. The Seattle Seahawks nearly beat the Steelers on the road last week, which should give them some confidence, and Geno has been respectable in his limited role in replacing Russell Wilson. This is a bit of a steep number to lay with a Saints team on the road where you’re not sure which team is going to show up. It’s also a must win for the Seahawks if playoffs are the goal. Give me the points.
