Jesse Schule Free Pick
(NFL) NY Giants vs. New Orleans, 11/01/2015 8:00 AM, Score: 49 - 52
Total: 49.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a Free play on NYG@NO to go OVER the total.


New Orleans is coming off back to back upset wins over the Falcons and the Colts. Drew Brees has looked sharp since returning from injury, and he could be in for a big night against the Giants 31st ranked pass defense at home in the Superdome. Keep an eye on running back Mark Ingram as well, the 25 year old out of Alabama ran for a season high 143 yards and a TD against the Colts last week. Brees may have the luxury of having plenty of time to drop back in the pocket, as the Giants are really struggling to get to the quarterback. Just how bad is their pass rush? Well they've been using their backup fullback to fill in with so many injuries on defense. They also just signed Jason Pierre Paul to a contract despite the fact that he only has half of his right hand (the other half was blown off in a fireworks accident).

These teams have played three times since 2009, and they have combined to score more than 70 points in all three of those games. Only two teams in the NFL rank worse than the Saints in total defense, who rank 30th allowing opponents to score an average of 26.4 points per game. The Giants are not much better, ranking 29th, and they are likely going to struggle to stop this Saints offense in the Superdome. Brees threw for 319 yards on 30-of-39 passing in a 31-21 win over the Falcons in his last home game.

Take OVER.
