Bookies.com: Bet the under in Saints vs Jets game
Bill Speros writes: “What better way to celebrate the Winter Solstice and Holiday Season in New Orleans than sitting inside a half-empty Caesars Superdome watching Brady Cook and Tyler Shough sling it for 2 teams with a combined 7-21 record? Can’t think of one, either. If you must wager upon the outcome of this game – and we do not recommend it – take the under given the relative strength of both defenses going up against rookie QBs.”
The site’s formula predicts that the Saints will win the NFL Week 16 game against the Jets.

Sportsnaut: New Orleans Saints 24, New York Jets 14
Matt Johnson writes: “In his last five games, Tyler Shough has completed 70 percent of his passes while averaging 236 passing yards per game, 7.4 yards per attempt, and posted a 93.7 QB rating with 2 rushing touchdowns. In that span, the New Orleans Saints are 3-2, and the defense has allowed just 271.4 total yards and 17.8 points per game in that span. We feel pretty confident picking New Orleans to beat the New York Jets on Sunday.”
