Sorry for getting this out late, tied up but this is an easy game for me to break down. I have had this circled as a tough spot for the Saints for months now and still think it will be a close and low scoring game.
GAME WINNER BET
UNDER
I never bet on or against the Saints, but if you want a play tonight, it’s the UNDER
GAME CAPTAIN
Latavius Murray – RB, Saints
The Michael Thomas injury is going to benefit Murray. Expect Kamara to be used more in the passing game which drives 5+ touches more for Murray per game. Furthermore, we have him and Jared Cook in revenge games against their former teams and no doubt Sean Payton knows this and gets Murray some touches near the goal line. He’s going for 2 TD tonight.
PRIMARY PLAYER POOL
Saints
- Highest Owned: Lat Murray
- Correlation: Lat Murray & Saints Defense
- Value Plays: Deonte Harris, Wil Lutz, Saints Defense, Marquez Callaway
- FADE: Go light on Manny Sanders in my mind if you are going heavy on both Murray and Kamara. But fade Kamara or Sanders
Raiders
- Highest Owned: Hunter Renfroe (He scores and will be a problem for Saints)
- Correlation: Hunter Renfroe & Josh Jacobs
- Value Plays: Daniel Carlson
Taysom?
Always Taysom, but please, be patient. Taysom is going for 3 TD next Sunday night.
Final Score prediction: Saints 24, Raiders 21
Prop Bet: Latavius Murray OVER Everything
