NFL Betting Odds - Patriots at Saints Monday Night Football

The two best offenses in the NFL should put on a show on Monday night football as the unbeaten New Orleans Saints host the New England Patriots. The Saints lead the league in total yards at 420.5 per game and in points per game at 36.9. The Patriots are second in yards per game at 416.1 yards. The Saints are on the same pace that the Patriots were at two years ago when they went unbeaten in NFL betting odds during the regular season. Quarterback Drew Brees leads a wide open offense that is tough to stop. New Orleans is a 1.5-point favorite with a total of 56.5 at online sportsbooks.

New Orleans figures to get tested in NFL odds for Monday night football by a New England offense that set the standard in excellence. With quarterback Tom Brady and receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker, the Patriots set the NFL record for most points scored in a season two years ago. It will be up to the Saints defense to contain Brady and his receivers. The Saints rank #1 in the league in takeaways and interceptions so they have a chance to slow down Brady. Safety Darren Sharper leads the league in interception return yards. The Patriots are +1.5 road underdogs in NFL betting odds against the Saints for tonight's Monday night football game.

On the other side of the ball, it seems unlikely that New England can stop Brees and the New Orleans offense. The Saints have a number of weapons on offense and actually have a higher ranking rushing the ball than throwing it. The Saints are 5th in the league in rushing and 6th in passing. The Patriots are only 14th in the NFL against the run but they are 6th against the pass. New England has won 8 of the 11 all-time meetings against New Orleans in NFL betting odds with the last victory coming by a score of 24-17 in 2005.

Lanning's NFL Picks: One of the most anticipated games of the NFL betting season is here. The Brady vs. Brees quarterback match-up is a something that we haven't seen in quite some time and is usually in a Super Bowl. We are a couple of months early but expect the same type of atmosphere because even though they are on the road, the Patriots will be running on all cylinders. Just to be safe, my NFL pick for this match-up in week 12 will be to take the Patriots on the road plus the points to the OVER. Vegas odds at Caesars sportsbook have the New Orleans Saints -2 favorites against the New England Patriots with a total of 57.5 for this Monday night football match-up on ESPN.
