Saints +3 -115 at Titans – 1 unit

Saints +135 moneyline    – ½ unit

 

Probably a spot you don’t want to bet but I’m playing the Saints. A lot of concern over the Kamara injury but there should be just as many concerns with the Titans offense without Derrick Henry and Julio Jones. Especially against this defense. Saints had a great game vs the Bucs and then a letdown vs Atlanta. The Titans dominated the Rams on paper but the offense didn’t even and didn’t have to put up big numbers because of the pick 6 and Stafford’s 2 INTS. Tennessee’s RBs ran for 20 carries/49 yards if you take away an 11 yard and 10 yard long. 3.36 yards/carry including the long runs. Tannehill threw for 5.3 per attempt and 146 yards with a pick and 3 sacks. I love the Saints defense and it’s why I played them vs the Bucs. I think with Taylor Lewan hurt, no Henry or Julio, the Titans won’t score easily at all. Siemian’s not going to wow you but he played a clean game last week and can be a game manager with a very good defense. He has Ingram in the backfield and the Titans play a lot of zone which can help him find holes on short routes and spread the ball to Callaway, Smith, Harris, Still. Taysom Hill is healthy and will be involved. This bet won’t decide my day and I have others at 4oclock I’m on that are bigger, but I like the Saints at 3 in a low scoring game where the clock should move based on a Saints high percentage offensive gameplan and the Titans prepping this week after getting back late from LA after a huge Sunday night win. Betting on the bounceback and a little next man up mentality. Sean Payton 26-10-1 ATS as a dog since 2015 and the Saints off a loss vs Tennessee riding a high after the Rams.
