Jared picks NFL Friday's Saints vs Vikings: Are you going to bet against the Saints on Christmas?
Game time is 4:30 pm EST. Expect a lot of points under the tree.
SAINTS (-6.5) Vikings (50.5)
Jared’s Pick: Saints
Breakout Player: RB Alvin Kamara
Even though the Saints lost last week, it was still only a three-point game against the best team in the league. Also, if Drew Brees played against Philly, the Saints probably would have won that. Overall, New Orleans has been playing a whole lot better than Minnesota. The Saints’ defense is top 10 in almost every stat, while Minnesota’s is bottom 10. This should be a high scoring game with two of the best offenses in the league, but when you look at the entire team it would make sense for New Orleans to cover.
