Point Spread: -6½/-110 New Orleans

Sportsbook: BookMaker

Result: Win

Today's winner is New Orleans over Atlanta. This is my NFC South Game of the Year.

Drew Brees has passed for 4878 yards this year, an has been red-hot lately, with 14 TDs and 0 INTs in the Saints L4 games. New Orleans is looking to win the NFC South for the 2nd time in 3 years. They are 6-0 ATS at home this season. They clinch the NFC South with a win and a win or tie in their remaining games. And can clinch a 1st round bye with wins in both remaining games and a San Francisco loss or tie or a win and tie and SF loss. Atlanta has been inconsistent all season long and has already clinched a playoff spot. They aren't the toughest team on the road either. New Orleans would like nothing more than to close out the South today. Take the high-flying New Orleans Saints. Thank you.
