Saints vs. Patriots key players to watch
New England Patriots
Hunter Henry: The top receiving option for the Patriots is Hunter Henry, who leads the team in both receptions (17) and yards (176). If the Patriots want to gain some level of momentum and move the ball against the Saints, Henry is going to play a big role in that.
New Orleans Saints
Alvin Kamara: After missing the first three games, Alvin Kamara immediately played a massive role in the Saints offense in Week 4. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry on 11 rushes and then added in 13 receptions for 33 yards through the air. Their offenses moving forward is going to continue to rely on Kamara.
Saints vs. Patriots prediction and pick
I don't think there's any question how we need to bet on this game. The UNDER has hit in 10 straight games for the Saints, and now they face a team that has a lot of similarities to them in the Patriots.
Heading into Week 4, the Patriots and Saints rank 24th and 29th respectively in yards per play. Meanwhile, they rank sixth and eighth in opponent yards per play. Both squads are all defense and no offense.
I expected more from the Derek Carr in New Orleans, but it hasn't worked out that way, plus he has a nagging shoulder injury. Now, the Saints have to play the best defense they've faced this season. I see no reason why the Patriots won't be able to shut them down. Let's remember, they haven't score more than 17 points in a single game this season.
Give me the UNDER in this interconference matchup.
Pick: UNDER 39.5 (-110)
