79% Of Money Is Being Placed On Tonight's Under

The Saints (3-2) and Seahawks (2-4), who have both dealt with injuries and inconsistency, will face-off on MNF in the middle of a bomb cyclone 😳 (4 minute read)

Welcome to all our new readers. As usual, if the parlay below hits, the first person to email [email protected] gets $100 🤑

Monday Night Football Preview

The Saints stumbled to their bye week with a 3-2 record, as they’ve played some inconsistent football behind Jameis Winston. However, they’re favored tonight as they travel to Seattle to take on the Russell Wilson-less Seahawks

  • Spread: Saints -4

  • Moneyline: Saints -220 (bet $220, win $100), Seahawks +180

  • Over/Under: 42.5

The Saints and Seahawks combine to average 48.7 PPG this season, yet the O/U is sitting at 42.5. Injuries and weather forecast has led Vegas to believe these two teams will have a tough time scoring points

Over/Under 42.5

Tonight’s game opened around 44, but since then, that number has fallen to 42.5. That marks the lowest bar set for a matchup containing either of these teams this season. Between Winston’s erratic offense and backup QB Geno Smith now starting, the under is an interesting bet

  • Over 42.5: -110

  • Under 42.5: -110

Most of the points from this matchup should come from the Saints’ side, who’ve scored 28+ points in three out of five games so far this season

Important O/U Stats

  • New Orleans and its opponents have combined for 43 points just twice this year

  • In Geno Smith’s two starts, the Seahawks averaged just 18.5 PPG

  • The under has hit in three of the last four meetings between these two teams

Bettors have shown that they’re not very confident in a high-scoring game, as 79% of money bet was placed on the under

Alvin Kamara Prop Bets

Jameis Winston has relied heavily on Kamara, especially with the recent absence of WR Tre’Quan Smith and WR Michael Thomas. Let’s take a look at Kamara’s prop bets for MNF 👇

  • Over 23.5: -105

  • Under 23.5: -128

Kamara has rushed 23+ times in two of the last three games, including his best game in a Week 4 loss to the Giants (26 CAR for 120 YDS)

However, the BIGGEST factor in the number of carries Kamara will have tonight is the impending “bomb cyclone.” Yes, you read that right. A bomb cyclone 🌀

  • Over 93.5: -115

  • Under 93.5: -115

Kamara has rushed for over 93 yards just once this season, but he’ll be going up against a struggling Seahawks defense. Seattle is allowing the third-most rushing yards per game in the NFL at 140.8, which could lead to a dominant night on the ground for Kamara

Trivia question: can you name BOTH colleges that Alvin Kamara went to? (answer below)

For My Parlay Gurus

If the Saints can find a way to move on from the Drew Brees era, then I think they can overcome a bomb cyclone. Even though I’m predicting a low scoring game, the Saints have a 17-14 all-time record following a bye. So, I gotta ride with “Who Dat Nation.” Throwing $100 on this parlay would result in a $913 payout 💰

  • Saints moneyline: -220

  • Saints vs Seahawks under 42.5 total points: -110

  • Alvin Kamara over 23.5 rushing attempts: -105

  • Alvin Kamara over 93.5 rushing yards: -115
