The New Orleans Saints will travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC Divisional Round game on Sunday.
A week after the Saints defeated the Panthers for the third time this season, they turn their sights to the surprising Vikings led by Case Keenum. Let’s be honest despite his success this season how many of those reading thsi really expect Keenum to lead a team all the way? And before you comment in defense of his good season, remind yourself that the reason for going to the playoffs is to win the Super Bowl.
Now that we have that covered. Those wanting to watch this game will need to tune into FOX at 4:40 pm ET in order to see the kickoff from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN.
Drew Brees had another big game last week while everyone was focusing on the legs of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. The Saints can win in so many ways while the Vikings still appear as a team that can make the minimum mistakes if they want to advance.
With all that said the oddsmakers are favoring the Vikings in this one, largely do to their defense which ranked first in total yards and points allowed. The Saints were tenth in points allowed.
The Odds: The Vikings entered as a 3.5 point favorite and the line has moved all the way to 5 points in their favor. The over/under for this game is 46.5 total points.
