Best Bet: New Orleans Saints +1.5 (-110)

Remember last week when Andy Dalton completely melted down at the end of the 1st half and started throwing picks like he was playing pickup basketball at the local gym? As horrible as those interceptions were, one of them bounced directly off of the chest of one of his receivers. That was returned for a TD. If his receiver doesn’t muff the ball and that TD doesn’t happen - the Saints cover. Sure, I was on New Orleans and maybe I’m trying to justify my play or maybe, the Saints deserved better and that was bad luck. Either way, this is an all-in game for New Orleans. They are coming off of an extended rest in an absolute must-win spot. They are home during Halloween weekend in New Orleans. The crowd will be crazy. You have Alvin Kamara on the verge of getting traded, so I expect the Saints to push him hard in this game. More importantly and much less reported, the Raiders have been dealing with a flu outbreak in their building this week. That includes Devante Adams, their star receiver. With the Raiders coming off of a win, I think the Saints are the right side.
