New Orleans Saints vs Seattle Seahawks Pick

They are now 0-4 after last week’s 16-13 loss to Carolina. "We talked about the expectations all the time and how everybody was ready to embrace the expectations," linebacker Scott Fujita said. "For whatever reason, we haven't responded well to that at all. It's just been kind of a meltdown." The Saints have history to fight as only one team in NFL history has made the playoffs after starting 0-4 since the league went to a 12-team playoff system back in 1990. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking Saints on the Road.

"If we continue to make the dumb mistakes, drop as many passes, penalize ourselves on big plays, not take advantage of our field position, then it's hard for the result to change," said Saints' head coach Sean Payton, "There's a lot of blame to go around here and it's not just the kicker. There are a handful of positions that we need to evaluate closely and make sure we're playing the right guys." Running back Reggie Bush had 119 total yards last week but is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry.

Seattle is tied for first place in the NFC West with Arizona at 3-2 but they are not playing well. They were shutout last week by Pittsburgh 21-0. "This I know: We'll bounce back," head coach Mike Holmgren said. "It's OK. We'll bounce back and keep the thing going." Seattle running back Shaun Alexander had just 25 yards on 11 carries last week. It could be that backup Maurice Morris gets more carries this week. "Mo practices hard. Mo's going to get some more carries," Holmgren said. Seattle will be without wide receiver Deion Branch who is out with a sprained right foot. Fullback Mack Strong retired and will be missed as the lead blocking back. "We've got to get it going ... challenge the players, challenge the coaches, challenge myself," Holmgren said.
