Saints Falcons NFL Betting
Ready for some Saints Falcons NFL betting? NFL Week 3 is here! The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons will renew their rivalry. They face off in the first of two matchups this season. The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, September 23. It is scheduled to begin at 1 PM. ET.
New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Saints were able to bounce back from their season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With a win over the Cleveland Browns. Also, they will be trying to make it two wins in a row when they play the Falcons.
Drew Brees continues to play at a high level. Brees followed up his 400-yard performance against the Buccaneers with a solid effort against Cleveland, completing 28 of 35 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns.
However, the Saints are still struggling to run the ball and finished the game with 62 yards on 23 carries. The team will need to do a better job getting their ground game going to prevent the Falcons from sending blitzes at Brees all game.
The Saints’ defense also did a good job against the Browns, giving up only 234 passing yards after letting Ryan Fitzpatrick throw for over 400 yards last week.
If their defense plays like it did against the Browns and Brees continues to play at a high level, the Saints will be able to get the win over their rivals on Sunday.
NFL Week 3
Atlanta Falcons Prediction
After taking a lot of criticism for his performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in their season opener, Matt Ryan responded with a solid effort against the Carolina Panthers in week 2.
Ryan finished the game completing 23 of 28 passes for 272 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Ryan also made some plays with his feet, finishing with 18 yards and two touchdowns on four carries.
Atlanta’s running game was also effective, despite Devonta Freeman missing the game with an injury. The Falcons finished with 170 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries, led by Tevin Coleman, who rushed for 107 yards on 16 carries.
The Falcons will need another balanced offensive attack. This is if they want to hand the Saints their second loss of the season. Also, take sole control of second place in the NFC South.
With that said, the Falcons are favored to win this game by 3 points. The over/under on total points scored is 53.
Therefore, since this is a rivalry game, expect to see a close contest. However, since the Falcons are at home and the Saints offense relies heavily on Brees, expect the Falcons to bring pressure and try to force some turnovers, which should help them get the win. Take the Falcons -3.
In conclusion, we hope you enjoyed these Saints Falcons NFL betting odds.
