Week 3: Falcons vs. Saints
The New Orleans Saints will host the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 3 showdown for NFC South conference supremacy. This game has a few unique factors going for it. First, the point total for this game is the biggest total of the week. Next, this game is a Monday Night Football game, meaning that it will have a national audience.
The Saints are the early favorites as the sportsbooks have given New Orleans a 3 ½ point edge. Although the Falcons are hungry for success, the Falcons are not expected to win this game. The Saints notoriously play well at home and this game shouldn’t be any exception. That being said, the Saints are currently winless. In fact, the Saints have lost their first 2 games by a combined total of 4 points.
The Saints should be hungry and they will most certainly dazzle the crowd at Mercedes Benz Superdome as they look to win their first divisional game.
The Falcons also feature a high flying offense with the likes of Julio Jones and Mohammed Sanu. With Matt Ryan at quarterback, this Monday Night Football game may be one of the highest scoring affairs that football fans will see all season long. The point total for this game started at 52 ½ and the total has been rising across most online sportsbooks.
