Premium Pick

New Orleans comes off a loss to the Vikings, but it got fine performances from backups Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill, who combined for 22 completions in 33 attempts for 214 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Hill also rushed for 45 yards on six carries as the Saints had 337 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, the Chargers struggled offensively in a 17-13 loss to Arizona as Philip Rivers stayed on the sidelines. Easton Stick completed 7-of-11 for 78 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. Tyrod Taylor did complete all six of his passes for 72 yards, and Cardale Jones was 4-of-6 for 47 yards, but neither threw a TD pass. Stick and Taylor actually combined for 85 of the team's 179 rushing yards. New Orleans went UNDER six of eight preseason games the last two years and each of those times it has won and covered against the Chargers, including 36-7 last year. This is a high posted total when compared to how the Chargers offense performed last week, and New Orleans has the edge at QB depth with Bridgewater. Take the Saints and the UNDER.
