New Orleans Saints

Miami Dolphins

New Orleans is currently ranked 20th in passing yards, 29th in rushing yards, tied for 31st in points scored, and 22nd in points against. The Saints are back in the loss column, after recently ending a four-game skid. The offense hasn't scored more than 19 points in six straight games, and they usually hover around 10–14 points scored. They struggled in the red zone and turnovers didn't help their case in last week's loss. Overall, the offense ranks towards the bottom in a lot of categories and Alvin Kamara, possibly not playing, will make things even worse.

Miami is ranked 26th in passing yards, 18th in rushing yards, 24th in points scored, and 21st in points allowed. For the first time all season, the Dolphins have a winning streak going, and they will be well rested from their bye week. They might even get some key players back on offense, including offensive tackle Austin Jackson, who can help with the production on certain offensive plays. The defense has given up 13 points or fewer in three of their last four games and even contained the Buffalo Bills offense.

Best Bet: Dolphins Spread

The Saints' offense is below average and most of their recent losses have been by double digits. The Dolphins are coming off of the bye week, getting some players back, building momentum, and the defense is trending up as well.
