Preview:
Anyone else got a sense of dejavu?
The Saints and the Vikings meet on Sunday in a rematch of 2018’s unforgettable Miracle in Minneapolis with a trip to the Divisional Round on the line.
New Orleans has been installed as -7.5 favourites with home-field advantage, but with a 4-4 record against the spread at home this year, it’s worth diving deeper into this one.
The Vikings head to the Superdome well-rested after Mike Zimmer chose to rest a handful of his starters during last week’s loss to the Bears. Word is star running back Dalvin Cook is expected to return this week, leaving the line looking a little generous in the Saints’ favour.
Minnesota has struggled without Cook losing back-to-back games to close out the regular season, but with that said, the Vikings still rank sixth in the league in rushing yards and touchdowns.
On the flip side, the Saints have been one of the league’s best teams against the run allowing the fourth-fewest yards and only 13 touchdowns. New Orleans has also been a tough team to convert against on third down holding teams to the sixth-lowest conversion percentage in the league.
The Saints have covered in two of their last three games against Minnesota, which spells further bad news for a Vikings team that went 4-4 on the road during the regular season. Minnesota hasn’t won at the Superdome since 2008, so it’s worth backing the Saints to extend that streak even further.
Odds:
Tip: New Orleans Saints at $1.23
