Jets vs Saints Prediction

I’ll stick with the Saints. New Orleans utilized a big fourth quarter to bag a comeback win over the Panthers last weekend, notching 337 yards, 5.3 yards per play and 27 first downs along the way. The defense gave up 281 yards and 15 first downs on the other side, though the Saints did commit nine of the game’s 20 total penalties overall. New Orleans now has consecutive wins in the bag, and each of their last three games has been decided by four points or fewer.

As for the Jets, they limped to another rough showing in their loss to the Jags, thanks to three picks and 154 passing yards by the offense. The defense gave up 438 yards on the other side along with 24 first downs and 7.4 yards per play. New York’s offense has 20 points or fewer in each of their last six losses, and I don’t see them scoring too well here either.
