NFL Betting Preview for Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans

Atlanta Falcons Betting Analysis

Before last week’s game, the Falcons learned that their top wide receiver, Calvin Ridley, would be taking a break to deal with mental health issues, so they’re dealing with a loss of their own. The Falcons had been playing better up until their loss to the Panthers. On the offensive side of the ball, Matt Ryan has had a nice start to the season. He has thrown for over 1800 yards with 13 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Rookie first-round pick Kyle Pitts has broken out over the last few weeks and looks like a future star.

The Falcons have struggled to stop the run, and they haven’t had a sack in the last two games. They will have to prepare for many things on Sunday, as Taysom Hill could return from a concussion to give a different look to the New Orleans offense. The Falcons gave up 66 rushing yards to Sam Darnold so that Hill could hurt the Falcons defense.

New Orleans Saints Betting Analysis

We’ve already talked about the quarterback situation. Trevor Siemian came on in relief of Winston and played well, and he should get the start against the Falcons. He’ll have Alvin Kamara behind him, and we look for him to have a huge role in Sunday’s game. Kamara will be involved in the passing game as well.

Defensively, the Saints have one of the top units in the NFL. They’ve allowed the second-least amount of points this season. Their secondary is outstanding, and they are excellent at stopping the run. With Ridley no longer in the picture for Atlanta, this will give the Saints defense an even bigger advantage.
