NFL Betting Trends – New Orleans Saints (+6.5) at Seattle Seahawks (-6.5)
By Eric Williams
The New Orleans Saints, (0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS, 1-3 O/U) are an absolute mess right now in every facet of the game. The Saints are coming off a 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers in which they allowed the game’s final 10 points in the fourth quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks, (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 1-4 O/U) were thoroughly dominated by the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, getting shut out 21-0 and getting beat in every facet of the game.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my NFL Betting Free Picks:
Key Saints Trends
The Saints are 5-1 ATS in their last six games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
The Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last five games in Week Six.
The Saints are 36-17 ATS in their last 53 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Key Seahawks Trends
The Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a SU loss of more than 14 points.
The Seahawks are 7-3-1 ATS in their last eleven games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.0.
The Seahawks are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. NFC.
Key Totals Trends
The Over is 5-0 in Saints’ last five vs. a team with a winning record.
The Under is 7-1 in Saints’ last eight games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
The Under is 5-0 in Seahawks’ last five games on Field Turf.
The Under is 5-0 in Seahawks’ last five home games.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
Analysis: The Saints look absolutely nothing like the exciting team that took the NFL by storm last season while the Seattle Seahawks appear to have missed their opportunity to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy two seasons ago. Having said that, I still like the Seahawks to win outright and cover the spread in the process.
