Saints vs Chargers Odds, Pick, Prediction: NFL Preseason Preview

Saints vs. Chargers Odds

There’s just one recreation on the NFL Week 2 preseason schedule for Sunday: Saints vs. Chargers from SoFi Stadium — and I’ve a choose for it.

The Saints and Chargers met within the preseason final 12 months, with New Orleans recording a 27-10 victory. New Orleans has additionally gained the final 4 regular-season conferences between the 2.

Let’s get into this 12 months’s Saints vs. Chargers preseason recreation, the chances, and my betting choose in my preview beneath.

The Saints and Chargers have held scrimmages collectively this week. There are stories that Jameis Winston has been outplaying Derek Carr, however it’s exhausting to see the previous Raiders quarterback being something however the Week 1 starter.

New Orleans is coming off a 26-24 victory over the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in its first preseason recreation. Each Winston and Carr took snaps underneath middle, in addition to rookie Jake Haener. We did not see a lot of Carr as Winston and Haener had extra enjoying time. All three logged landing passes in opposition to the Chiefs.

I consider that preseason video games are typically determined by how a lot the higher quarterbacks play — this can be a concern I’ve with the Saints.

Although we noticed Carr and Winston in opposition to the Chiefs, it is value recalling final 12 months, when Dennis Allen rested each Winston and Andy Dalton for the second preseason recreation — enjoying Ian Ebook as an alternative — earlier than reinstating them within the third and ultimate exhibition recreation.

There is not any readability but on who will begin at quarterback for the Chargers, however it most likely will not be Justin Herbert. He hasn’t performed a single preseason snap in his profession, which is a reasonably wild statistic.

Brandon Staley has typically handled the preseason with disdain, going 2-5 in his time as Chargers head coach. Do not let their win final week distract you from the truth that we most likely will not see Los Angeles subject its greatest.

The Chargers beat the Rams 34-17 with out Herbert, Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. The backups did very nicely, however there is not a lot likelihood we see extra regulars in opposition to the Saints.

Each groups had been concerned in high-scoring video games final week. Consequently, the overall at the moment sits at 38.5.

We cannot see Justin Herbert and there is a good likelihood we do not get a lot of Derek Carr or Jameis Winston.

Dennis Allen has a historical past of being cautious within the second week of preseason, so let’s come to phrases that this recreation sees a whole lot of Easton Stick and Jake Haener. That may result in poor high quality quarterback play and a low-scoring matchup.

Take the underneath.

Choose: Below 38.5 (-110; BetMGM).
