Our picks, smartest options

Pick against the spread: Saints – 5.5 (- 110)

The Saints stunned everyone in Week 1 last season as they crushed the Packers 38-3. Atlanta has lost four straight season openers, while the Saints have won three straight. I think Jameis Winston and the Saint’s offense have a lot of progress dominating this match by twofold digits.

Over/under: Over 42 (- 110)

While I think the Saints win conveniently, the Falcons ought to in any case score a few focuses. The Saint’s safeguard is perfect, however, Kyle Pitts is close and relentless and will probably score a score eventually. The two matchups between these two groups last season went over this aggregate. I think the score is somewhere near 35-24 with the Saints dominating the competition. Saints vs Falcons

Player prop: Kyle Pitts over 59.5 getting yards (- 115)

While Marcus Mariota will probably have battles, he targets tight closures a ton. Melanie Walker’s best times of his profession were while Mariota was his quarterback. Pitts is expected for a breakout season and we saw it in a couple of games the year before. I figure Week 1, Pitts will lead the group in targets, gatherings, and yards and will wrap up with around 100 getting yards.
