New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers Preview

The defending Super Bowl champions New Orleans Saints head to the Bay Area this Monday night for a match up with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Saints had concerns on defense coming into the season, but they looked solid on that side of the ball in their win over Brett Favre and the Vikings in the NFL season opener only giving up 9 points. The Saints can really get off to a good start to this season with a win in this game, as after playing the 49ers they play 3 teams in their next 5 games that did not have a winning record last season.

OK, well may the 49ers are not in panic mode, but many picked them to win the weak NFC West this season mainly because of their great defense, but they were schooled in the season opener giving up 31 points to division rival Seattle.

NFL betting lines have the Saints as 5.5-point favorites in this game with a total of 44.

In their opening games of the season the Saints beat the Minnesota Vikings 14-9 while the 49ers were embarrassed in the Great Northwest losing to the Seattle Seahawks 31-6. In the loss to the Hawks the 49ers did not score a TD for the first time in 19 games.

Heading into this Monday night game the Saints are 0-1 ATS and the 49ers are also 0-1 ATS.

The 49ers are at home in this game where they only gave up an average of 6 points per game in their last 4 games winning all 4.

Football betting

The Saints only scored 14 points in their win over Minnesota, after averaging 31.9 ppg last season, but QB Drew Brees looked solid going 27/36 for 237 yards and 1 TD. Brees spread the wealth around, but his guys dropped several balls including one in the end zone.

The Saints only rushed for 79 yards against the Vikings and they will be facing supposed solid run defense of San Francisco that only gave up 77 rushing yards in the loss to New Orleans.

The San Francisco pass defense only allowed Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck to throw for 170 yards, but he was 18/23 and threw a couple of TD. With all the weapons that the Saints have, especially in the passing game, the front line D of the 49ers will have to pressure Brees in this game.

The 49ers will have to play great defense in this game against the dynamic offense of the Saints and this is especially the case if the San Francisco offense struggles like they did in their week 1 loss.

One big wild card this season for the 49ers is QB Alex Smith. He was a bust for his first couple of seasons, but came on strong last season and played well. In the game against Seattle Smith did not play well, as he had 2 INT, only led the team to 1/15 on 3rd down conversions, and had a QB rating of only 52.3 even though he did have 225 passing yards. He will be the starter in this game, but if he struggles there may be another QB controversy in the City by the Bay.

RB Frank Gore also did not play well in the game against the Saints and even though he caught 6 balls for 45 yards he only had 38 rushing yards averaging 2.2 yards per carry.

The New Orleans’ defense played well in the Vikings game giving up 162 passing yards and 91 rushing yards. They held the Vikings to only 3/11 on 3rd down conversions and they had one INT.

The 49ers will play better in this game being at home, but their defense will be playing a much tougher team then they did last week and they will have a tough time containing the Saints’ offense. The 49ers will not get blown out, but the Saints will play well, win this game, and cover the spread.

Trends:

  • New Orleans is 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games in September, and has an Under record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.
  • San Francisco is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 home games, 5-0-3 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss, and has an Under record of 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
  • In the last 6 games between these 2 teams the favorite has won 5 times.

Pick: Saints -5.5

He is anxiously waiting for the first NFL week when his beloved new-look Redskins take on the Cowboys, who is a team Jason has no love for, to say the least.

“The Saints can begin the season 2-0 for the first time in franchise history with a win over the 49ers”.

Laughable.

Green by name and green by nature…

They beat Detroit and Philly last year before going 13-0.

Jesus,

I know it’s not an essay but get your teams straight. You said Saints instead of Seahawks through your entire thing.

Holy lord. It makes in inreadable.

I like the under on this one. The 49ers D will be pumped up after last week and Alex Smith will get benched(So no offense for San Fran.)

You may not be trying to win Emmys, but proofreading is always a good idea. That way you might have caught that you repeatedly said that the Niners lost week 1 to New Orleans and not the Seahawks. To say it once is careless, to say it seven times is incompetence.
