This is a 10* NFLX GOY on the Saints MONEYLINE.

If this were the regular season, I'd be leaning KC here, but it's not and the Saints have plenty of things working in their favor here in Week 1 of the preseason.

Andy Reid and the Chiefs are the defending champs, but there's plenty of concern heading into the season because of line-up changes. Chris Jones is a hold out, and Charles Omenihu is suspended for the first third of the seasOn.

There's also plenty of young receiving talent that will need to see time to "get up to speed" with the pro game.

The Chiefs aren't expected to play their starters much, or at all in this one, while the Saints are going to play their starters.

That works in favor of Derek Carr to give him a chance for a few reps with the first-team offense. And then having Jameis Winston as a back-up QB is a huge bonus for the Saints obviously.

The Chiefs have issues to deal with, and nothing to play for here. This is a bigger deal for the Saints, and they have a lot of different situational factors working in their favor.

Forget the spread, the play is NEW ORLEANS on the MONEYLINE.

Good luck, NP
