Headline: Saints Look For Elusive First Win at Home versus San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n Who would have thunk it? Not me! The New Orleans Saints look to snap a miserable four game losing streak when they host a confident Chargers team coming off a win last week in Kansas City. It\u2019s not that the Saints have been a total disaster \u2013 it is the defense that has been absolutely dreadful and not giving its offense a chance. <\/p>\n San Diego Chargers (3-1) vs. New Orleans Saints (0-4)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Gambling Insight!<\/a> |\u00a0Buy Ray’s Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Getting out of their funk won\u2019t be easy Sunday \u2013 the Chargers are OK on both sides of the ball ahead of this Sunday Night showdown.<\/p>\n The San Diego Chargers have a good, not great offense. Surprisingly they are only 23rd in passing in the NFL and 17th in rushing. Does it seem that the Chargers offense has been better than that? Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and Malcolm Floyd make up an OK passing attack and Ryan Matthews despite an average return from injury and a case of fumbleitis is a top tier back. <\/p>\n They are a challenge for any defense and definitely own the edge against the Saints defense.<\/p>\n The San Diego defense has been solid \u2013 17th against the pass and 6th against the run. They have been an opportunistic bunch and have come together way faster than anyone predicted. Its not that they will stop Drew Brees \u2013 they just have to limit him in this game.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t blame Drew Brees! He has the Saints with the 3rd best passing game in the NFL. The problem is the running game except for Darren Sproles. Where have they gone? All of you Fantasy owners know what I am talking about \u2013 no Saints rusher outside Sproles is anywhere to be seen. Drew Brees is a one man show in New Orleans and it is proving that one needs some support \u2013 seriously! [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Ugh \u2013 the New Orleans defense. Check this out \u2013 they are 24th versus the pass surrendering 276.5 yards per game, they are dead last versus the run giving up an astounding 186.75 yards per game and they give up 32.5 points per game \u2013 29th in the NFL. These numbers are ugly and they truly reflect how bad this unit has been.<\/p>\n Betting Prediction<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The streak will end! The Saints are way too proud a team to be 0-5. New Orleans should have won last week and didn\u2019t \u2013 their motivation should be compounded this week. San Diego has not been all that impressive this year \u2013 can\u2019t help but think the Saints jump all over them.<\/p>\n Pick:<\/strong> New Orleans Saints -3 1\/2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday Night Football – San Diego vs New Orleans Betting Headline: Saints Look For Elusive First Win at Home versus San Diego Who would have thunk it?
