Seahawks vs Saints Prediction
I’m not completely sold on the Seahawks, so laying full touchdown with them isn’t what I’m trying to do. However, this has more to do with the Saints than anything else. The Saints are the worst team in the league, they’re not winning dating back to last year, and they’re 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog.
Outside of racking up 8 sacks in two games, there’s just not a lot to get excited about when it comes to the Saints, and they don’t cash tickets. Seattle is still a tough place to play and there’s upside with the Seahawks offensively. Thick number, but I’m not high on the Saints at all. Give me the Seahawks by double digits, but there are better options out there on Sunday’s NFL card.
