Saints vs. Falcons picks against the spreadJon Hoefling: Atlanta Falcons (+1.5)
The Saints should not be favored ever. I do not care that Kirk Cousins is the Falcons QB. Just hand the ball to Bijan 35 times and watch the points rack up.
Jordan Mendoza: Atlanta Falcons (+1.5)
The Falcons cannot afford to lose this game if they want to save any part of their season. Kirk Cousins steps up and ends this horrid losing streak.
Lorenzo Reyes: New Orleans Saints (-1.5)
I don’t like either of these teams; they’re not consistent enough and they’re susceptible to wild swings. I’m backing the Saints, but I’d look elsewhere.
Tyler Dragon: Atlanta Falcons (+1.5)
Kirk Cousins will return to QB1 after Michael Penix Jr.’s injury. Cousins just needs to hand the football off to Bijan Robinson and be conservative with the football.
Blake Schuster: New Orleans Saints (-1.5)
Bad news, Atlanta fans: This is rock bottom. I suppose that’s also the good news.
Christopher Bumbaca: Atlanta Falcons (+1.5)
The Falcons losing six straight games would be a nightmare scenario. Not that this season hasn’t been a bad dream already.
