Andy Dalton is struggling, the backfield is in a slump, the defense has been unimpressive lately, and injuries have hurt the receiving options. While I think the big problem has been Andy Dalton, a young running game and a slumping defense have only made it worse. Either way, the tiger meat is dangling in front of the Saints, who got lucky when the Panthers also lost last week.
While I think the hail mary that should have ended the game last week was more of a flop than a push off, the end result is that the Saints have to be playing angry.
With Ingram back, Graham healthy, and the division lead secured despite a sub-.500 record, I think you’ll see the best of what the New Orleans Saints have to offer going forward. Given how poorly the Bengals have played, I think the Saints will win here and the computer, though divided on the spread, agrees with the value of a money line parlay.
My forum is on one, too. Saints ML parlayed with Broncos ML gives us a 1.6 payout, and I’m on it.
Saints 35 – Bengals 24
