Saints are one of the better defensive teams in the NFL, which is saying something after being one of the worst in the league not long ago, and they just held a talented Bucs team to just 23 points in week 1. With that said, the Saints probably put up another 30+ spot here against a Raiders team that’s definitely prioritizing offense first, and I expect the Raiders to hold their own on the scoreboard as well. Brees will make some plays in this contest, however, the Raiders will utilize their rushing attack with Jacobs early and often while relying on a swarming defense to minimize scoring opportunities for a dangerous Saints offense.
Opening up their new Arena with a W would really get the positive Mojo going and possibly making it a real home field advantage. I see Jacobs being used early and often. The running game will be key as Cameron Jordan will be head to head with Denzell Good at Right Tackle. If Good can play as well as he did in Carolina then the offense should be able to protect Carr. Brees is short his favorite receiver which should give Raiders secondary a chance to slow them up some . Raiders D can hold them to under 25 then Raiders have a good chance. I’m really interested to see Ruggs break out with a big game and for Edwards to get a few balls his way. As of Sunday, Las Vegas books need the Raiders.
Vegas action: By Harry Darian [HarryTheHat
At William Hill, 70 percent of the tickets and 61 percent of the money is on the Saints, who also are the ticket leaders at Station. There’s only probably two or three wide receivers in all of football that would impact the number and by no more than a half point with that said, that would be Michael Thomas and Davante Adams and maybe DeAndre Hopkins as well.
The total has dipped from 51½ to 48½ with Thomas ruled out. The Saints have a 13-4 over-under mark in their last 17 road games. The line has bounced around a bit since May, when New Orleans opened as a 4-point favorite. The Saints were reposted as 5½-point favorites Sept. 13 following their 34-23 win over Tampa Bay and the Raiders’ 34-30 victory at Carolina. The line climbed to 6½ on Tuesday before dropping as low as 5 at Station Casinos after it was reported that New Orleans wide receiver Michael Thomas was expected to miss the game with a high ankle sprain.
There are two key injuries to watch on the Raiders side: Rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs, who had the highest percentage of any team’s air yards in Week 1, and tackle Trent Brown both may not play. If neither can go or both are limited, that will certainly hamper this offense.
I'm Betting The Over 48 points and buying the 1/2 point!! Why the 1/2 point?because I'm Superstitious That's All !!!! LOL !!!!
