New Orleans Saints
Another week, another blowout win for the Saints. With a 48-7 win over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans improved to 9-0 SU over its last nine games and 8-0 ATS over its last eight.
Each of the Saints’ last four wins have been by 10 points or more, and the team has averaged an incredible 48 points per game over its last three games. The Saints are one of three teams in the NFL along with the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs that are averaging over 35 points per game this season, and their defense has outperformed both of those teams to date.
The Saints are 9-3 SU in their last 12 home games against Atlanta and 5-2 ATS in their last seven per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Atlanta Falcons
A 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS run to bring their record to 4-4 SU on the season gave Atlanta some slight hope at making a run towards a playoff spot, but back-to-back losses against Cleveland and Dallas have all but ended that dream.
The Falcons are just 3-7 ATS this season and have been hopeless on defense all year long ranking 29th in the NFL in total yards allowed per game (405.2) and points allowed per game (27.6). Atlanta is 1-4 SU and ATS in its last five games on the road.
Thursday night’s total is set at 60 points. The OVER is 7-3 in New Orleans’ last 10 games at home.
Thanksgiving Thursday is all about feasting, and while many Americans will be feasting on turkey and sides, the best offense in the NFL will have the chance to feast on one of the league’s worst defenses. Atlanta’s only chance at keeping this one close will be to try to keep up on offense.
