Saints UNDER 51 (10*)
(NFL) Atlanta vs. New Orleans,
Total: 51.00 | -103.00 Over
Result: Loss
The New Orleans Saints will host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, and in the past we've seen these teams play some high scoring games. The Saints aren't quite the offensive juggernaut that they used to be though, and I think the total for this game looks a little high. Both these teams struggled last week, and I think we'll see a low scoring battle here in the Big Easy.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Four of the last five head to head meetings between these two teams have failed to reach the total, and two of those games were played at the Super Dome. The Saints have failed to reach the number in each of their last four home games against teams with a winning record.

2. Saints Offensive Line - Drew Brees has been taking a beating this year, even missing a game against Carolina with a shoulder injury. He was sacked five times in a loss to Philly last week.

3. X-Factor - Julio Jones has battled injury all year, and he is listed as questionable to play in New Orleans. After catching 34 passes for 440 yards and four TDs in the first three weeks, he's been kept out of the endzone the last two weeks.

Selection: This is a play on the Falcons@Saints to go UNDER the total (10*)
