Seattle Seahawks vs. New Orleans Saints Preview
In an NFC match up in the Big Easy the New Orleans Saints (6-3) host the Seattle Seahawks (5-4). NFL lines have the Saints as big 12-point favorites in this game with a total of 44.
In their last games the Saints laid a 34-3 beat down on the Carolina Panthers and the Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 36-18, which snapped their 2 game losing streak.
This season the Saints are 3-2 at home and the Seahawks are 2-3 on the road.
The Saints have won 2 in a row and are 1 game behind the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. New Orleans has turned things around after a slow start and they hope that the return of RB Reggie Bush will help their struggling rushing offense. RB Pierre Thomas, who led the Saints in rushing yards last season, is still out with an ankle sprain and is unlikely to play this Sunday.
While the Seahawks are in first place in the NFC West they have to be the weakest team leading a division. Their offense does not rank in the top 22 in the league in passing yards per game or rushing yards per game and their pass defense ranks 28th.
Heading into this NFC match up the Saints are 4-5 ATS and the Seahawks are 5-4 ATS. While Seattle has only covered the spread 2 times in their last 13 games as a road underdog New Orleans is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 10.5 or more.
Matt Hasselbeck broke his non throwing wrist last week in the game against Arizona, but he still passed for 333 yards and 1 TD. He and WR Mike Williams (11 catches 145 yards last week) have become a solid tandem, but they will have a tough time in this game going up against the Saints and their top-ranked pass defense. This season the Saints are giving up an average of only 166.3 passing yards per game and last week they shut down Carolina, as the Panthers only had 68 passing yards.
While Seattle’s rushing offense only ranks 28th in the league they have picked up over 100 yards on the ground in 3 of their last 5 games. The team is hoping that OT Russell Okung can return the lineup, as he is key to their running the ball. RB Justin Forsett is the lead back and since coming over from Buffalo Marshawn Lynch has not provided the spark Seattle wanted and for the season he is only averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per carry. The Saints’ rushing defense ranks 17th in the league and Seattle will have to establish the run to have any chance at an upset.
Drew Brees has played well this season and last week in the win over Carolina he passed for 253 yards with 2 TD and 1 INT. One of his TD tosses was to TE Jeremy Shockey, who was hurt on the play and is questionable for this game. The Seahawks main weakness on defense is their passing D ranked 28th in the league. To help the secondary out Seattle must pressure Brees and this season the Seahawks are tied with the 3rd most sacks in the league (26). However, the Saints’ offensive line has been a rock only allowing 14 sacks on the season.
If Bush comes back it will give the Saints a big lift and he will be sharing carries with Chris Ivory and Julius Jones, who was released by Seattle earlier in the season. One bright, well not that bright, spot for the Seahawks has been their rushing defense, which ranks 14th in the league.
The Saints are starting to get back to form and Reggie Bush is coming back while the Seahawks are simply not a very good team. Seattle only has 1 win against a team with a winning record and they have issues on both sides of the ball. Brees will come out and play great and light up the scoreboard, as the Saints will easily win this game and cover the big 12-point spread.
Betting Trends
Seattle is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record and the Saints are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games against teams with a winning road record.
Pick: Saints -12

He is anxiously waiting for the first NFL week when his beloved new-look Redskins take on the Cowboys, who is a team Jason has no love for, to say the least.
