Sports Betting Spotlight: New Orleans Saints 2017 season preview
The Review-Journal’s Todd Dewey, handicapper Kelly Stewart (@KellyInVegas) and Sunset Station sports book director Chuck Esposito preview the Saints’ season in the 10th of a series of 32 NFL team videos in 32 days.
The Saints finished 7-9 last season, but had the league’s second-best record against the spread, at 10-5-1, and went over the total in nine of their 16 games.
New Orleans will be led by quarterback Drew Brees, who is 38 years old but led the NFL in passing yards last season, with 5,208, and threw for 37 touchdowns. The Saints lost wide receiver Brandin Cooks and added running back Adrian Peterson but defense continues to be a question mark.
New Orleans’ 2017 season win total is 8 (Under minus-135) at Station Casinos.
