The New Orleans Saints' average score this year is 17 points per game. The defense, as good as it is, allows 22.5 points per game. Minnesota's defense has given up more yards but surrendered fewer points at 18.7 per game. The Minnesota offense averages 19 points per game, slightly better than the Saints. The Vikings have also faced better competition overall than the Saints, who, yes, played the Bucs but had to scramble at the end to beat the Falcons and lost to the Panthers last week. The final nail for the sAINTS IS JAMEIS WINSTON WON'T PLAY. Take the Norsemen minus 3.
