Saints at Patriots Odds, Game Pick and Prediction NFL Week 5

NFL 2023 Season Picks for the Saints vs Patriots. We are 4 weeks into the new NFL season, and you have to say that parity is the name of the game. There are just 2 unbeaten teams remaining, as well as just 2 winless teams, which means that the other 28 teams in the league have at least 1 win. | NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | MyBookie Sportsbook

That will all change as the season progresses and the better teams begin to assert their dominance, but for now, handicapping games is still a tough proposition. This game is one that certainly falls into the tough to cap category, as neither of these two have really shown all that much yet, but the one thing that they do have in common is that they really need a win this weekend. Heading to Foxboro is never an easy trip, with the Saints going there as a 1 ½ point underdog. The point total for this one is set at 40 ½.

Why bet on the New Orleans Saints

This matchup may well prove to be a tale of two QBs, as both are under a little pressure, but let’s start by focusing on Derek Carr. He made a solid start to life in the Big Easy, helping the Saints win their opening 2 games of the season. He suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 3 loss to the Packers and should probably have sat out last weekend. Carr played, but he was largely ineffective, which makes you wonder if that injury is a little more problematic than first reported. He is, though, expected to start again this weekend. The Saints have gone 5-2 SU in their last 7 meetings with teams from the AFC East, but they are also just 2-5 SU in their last 7 versus the Patriots. They have failed to cover in their last 5 games overall, but they are a healthy 8-3 ATS in their last 11 versus New England. The UNDER has hit in 10 straight for the Saints.

Why bet on the New England Patriots

After an excellent rookie season, QB Mac Jones has failed to get back to the level of play he exhibited in Year 1. This past weekend, he was benched in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and while he will start again this weekend, it does appear as though Jones is now on a very short leash. The Patriots are now sitting at 1-3 and look well off the pace in a division where the Bills and Dolphins look to be elite. Week 5 has been good to the Patriots over the years, as they have now won 8 in a row in those games, but that is not a trend I would lean too heavily on. The Patriots have now failed to cover the spread in each of their last 5 games at home and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. 8 of their last 11 meetings with the Saints have gone OVER the point total.

Saints vs Patriots Expert Pick and Series Prediction

This is one of those games that could really go either way, and which feels like something of a coin slip. I don’t have a ton of confidence in any of the wagers here, but I am going to take the Saints to win on the road in a close one.
