T.M. Selection: NO Saints

New Orleans won this game 36-25 last October and I expect a similar final result here as well. New Orleans is coming out of a 27-24 win over Carolina in its last game. Drew Brees had 287 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Saints offensive line has been big this year, allowing just 1.3 sacks per game. That's also given Alvin Kamara room to operate on the ground. Chicago has now lost back-to-back games, most recently a listless 24-10 setback at the Rams last weekend. The Bears offense struggled and I expect that to continue here. Chicago's defense has been its strength in the early going, but I expect that unit to struggle to contain Brees and company. Note that New Orleans is 20-6 ATS in its last 26 games on the road when facing a team with a winning record at home, while Chicago is a poor 2-8 ATS in its last ten following a loss. I love New Orleans to run the score up early, but never take the foot off the gas. Lay the points, expect a blowout!

T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Saints
