New Orleans Saints vs LA Chargers Prediction
The New Orleans Saints are banged up on both sides of the ball and are breaking in a new quarterback, so oddsmakers aren’t going to show them much love. However, we’re getting a full touchdown plus a hook. The Los Angeles Chargers just lost at home to the Cardinals, a team that doesn’t play defense, and they scored only 15 points. The Chargers are a mess offensively at the moment. I don’t want to get behind the Saints as much as the next guy, but I’m not laying this many points with the Chargers. Give me the Saints if forced to pick.
