The Saints take on the Patriots in New Orleans this week
The New Orleans Saints are fresh off their first win of the season and will look to take the confidence into their week 6 matchup against the New England Patriots. The Saints come into the game with a 1-4 record, whereas the Patriots are 3-2 after their win over the Bills last week.
Game Details:
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Stefon Diggs 60+ Receiving Yards | -120 | -106 |
| Chris Olave 60+ Receiving Yards | -102 | -105 |
| Patriots Moneyline | -180 | -190 |
Stefon Diggs seems to have found chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye over the past couple of games. He has over 100 receiving yards in the week 4 and week 5 games against the Panthers and Bills. The Saints have a good secondary, so another 100-yard performance could be difficult.
The Saints may have to put the ball in the air more against the Patriots, who are stronger against the run on defense. Wide receiver Chris Olave has been consistently putting up over 50 receiving yards a game.
Both the Patriots and the Saints won their respective games in week 6. However, New England has been playing well ever since its week 1 loss to the Raiders. Additionally, their win last week came against the Bills, one of the toughest opponents in the league, while the Saints beat the struggling Giants.
The Patriots are starting to look like a contender in the AFC East under Mike Vrabel. They are just one game off the Bills, and second-year quarterback Drake Maye has elevated his game from his rookie season.
Offensively, the Saints are struggling to put points on the board, averaging just 18.4 per game, while the Patriots are averaging 25 a game. On defense, it is a similar story as the Patriots are allowing just over 20 points per game, while the Saints are giving up 27.
