The Saints had a chance late but couldn’t get a stop in the 31-24 loss to the Jaguars. New Orleans is scoring just 19 points per game, which is 21st in the league while allowing just 18.1 per game.
Alvin Kamara has come back from the three-game suspension and has not only been the best running option but also a target monster for the Saints. He and Chris Olave are the top two receivers for the Saints. When looking at his NFL Player Stats – Olave is 29 yards shy of 500 on the season.
The Saints are at the Colts here and then go home and host the Bears before a trip to Minnesota, followed by their bye and then a trip to Atlanta.
New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts Betting Picks
Both of these teams are badly in need of a win. The Colts and Saints both have been snake-bitten a little and could be better than their 3-4 record show.
For New Orleans, they need to get Derek Carr back on track. He has struggled to find his open receivers, and the passing offense just is not getting the job done.
This game will feature Alvin Kamara and Jonathan Taylor, two of the more exciting running backs in the league.
When making your NFL picks, look for Taylor to continue to increase his role and the Saints to struggle to slow him down. In the end, the betting pick for this game is with the home team.
When looking at the Saints vs Colts odds, betting the Indianapolis Colts -1.5 over the New Orleans Saints is the way to go on Sunday.
