Leg 2 – Saints vs. Seahawks, 4:05 ET

We have another 0-2 team looking to turn their season around, but I just don’t see it happening as the Saints visit the Seahawks. Coming into the season, the Saints were viewed as a team that would likely be competing for the #1 overall draft pick at the end of the year, so a 0-2 start is not a surprise. However, the Saints haven’t looked like a terrible team, either. They have plenty of weapons on offense with Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Brandin Cooks. The problem is their line is not very good, meaning quarterback Spencer Rattler has had very little time to get the ball to the playmakers. The team leader in yards is their tight end, Juwan Johnson. Rattler has done a decent job to start the season, with 421 yards and three touchdowns, most importantly, no turnovers. It is important to note that the Saints did start their season at home, where they do get an edge. The Seahawks played well at home against the 49ers, but they ultimately lost the game. Last week, they looked clearly the better team as they dominated the Steelers. I was a bit surprised the defense played as well as they did. However, maybe it is what we should expect. They offered very little to the 49ers, and they held Rodgers and the Steelers to just 17 points. Sam Darnold has been fairly average to start the year, but I think against this Saints defense he should be able to get a bit more going. Last week against what appears to be a bad Steelers defense, he completed 22-of-33 attempts for 295 yards and two touchdowns. He did also have two interceptions. This is a game where I think he can replicate that, minus the interceptions. I am less confident that the Seahawks cover this big spread, but I do think they win. Back the Seahawks as well.
