Premium Pick

Minnesota was fortunate to get by Detroit last week as the Lions do what they do best and that is blow games in the final minutes. Dan Campbell elected to attempt a 54-yard field goal instead of going for it on fourth down and the Vikings came out on top 28-24 in a game they had no business winning. Kirk Cousins was mediocre until the final drive and finished 24 of 41 for 260 yards and two touchdowns. Dalvin Cook ran for 96 yards on 5.6 yards per carry before being injured, but he returned to full practice this week. New Orleans look to bounce back from a 22-14 loss to Carolina and the Saints are 13-3 ATS in Week Four and they have covered 37 of their past 52 October games. Jameis Winston shook off an injured back to throw for 353 yards and a TD, but with two interceptions. If he can't go on Sunday Andy Dalton would replace him and he has already played in two London games in his career with the Bengals. Minnesota is 3-8 ATS its past 11 games following a win and 2-8 ATS overall after yielding at least 350 total yards its previous game and the Vikings were outgained by Detroit 416-373. Take the Saints ATS as a Max Play.
