We dropped last weeks play and are looking to right the ship this week. We are taking a two team parlay, so first we head to the Caesars Superdome, as the New Orleans Saint welcome the Atlanta Falcons. These are two teams going completely in the opposite direction. The Falcons are 4-1 in their last five games and are riding a two game winning streak. Atlanta has also played their best football on the road and against division opponents. The Dirty Birds are 3-0 on the road and 4-0 against the NFC South.

There’s really nothing positive to say about the Saints right now. New Orleans has loss seven straight and are coming in off firing head coach Dennis Allen. Derek Carr returned for New Orleans under center and all he did was put WR Chris Olive on the IR. The Saints could possibly come into this matchup with fresh energy after hearing a new voice all week from now head coach Darren Rizzi, but I just don’t see a way for them to keep up offensively with Atlanta. New Orleans pass defense ranks 27th and will be going against Atlanta’s 7th ranked pass offense. Give me Atlanta on the money line just to be safe in this division battle.

For the second leg of our parlay, we head to Soldier Field in Chicago as the home Chicago Bears battle against the visiting New England Patriots. After losing to Washington in the final seconds on Jayden Daniels hail mary, Chicago was a no show in their previous matchup against Arizona. The Bears have been Jekyll and Hyde on the road and at home as they’re 4-0 at home and 0-4 on the road. After back to back road losses they’ll head home and look to keep their season afloat. New England has made the switch to rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who can be a threat with his legs, but has to limit the turnovers. Mayne had a fumble and pick last week that lead to the Titans grabbing a 20-17 overtime victory over New England.

This line currently sits at -6 and I just don’t trust Chicago offense enough to think they’re a touchdown better than anybody. But until they lose at home will continue to ride the trend. Give me the Bears money line.

Official Pick: Falcons/Bears ML +113
