Top Play:
We admit the New Orleans Saints are good and their resurgence is the sports story of the year. They are winning and winning big. We believe this is another case of a team just getting too much hype. There has to be a letdown at some point and we think this weekend against the Washington Redskins will be the time they falter.
Support for the Saints has never been higher following last Sunday’s huge win over the Cowboys and all this talk of Sean Payton for coach of the year and Drew Brees for MVP means the public will be all over them. But they still have one of the worst run defenses in NFL (ranked 24th). The run-stuffer Hollis Thomas’s suspension is the key issue for their defense. Redskins running back Ladell Betts has been pretty good lately, averaging 143 yards rushing during the last three games.
Joe Gibbs will give the ball to Betts all day and let him grind this game out.
Although the Saints’ pass defense is ranked 5th, there is a good possibility that Jason Campbell will have another big game coming back to SEC-land. New Orleans is 1-3 ATS when they are favored at home this season.
Play Washington Redskins, ATS.
