NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saints vs. Vikings
Saints vs. Vikings
The Saints are in first, but barely, so for them, every game is important. The offense might have taken a hit as Michael Thomas ran into some legal trouble on Friday, so his status is up in the air. New Orleans' offense under Derek Carr hasn't been as good as some thought it would be as they sit near the average in points scored, but he's also continuing to deal with a shoulder injury. The Vikings could have been done after the Kirk Cousins injury, but newly acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs came in and saved the day, and with this team winning four straight, they are back in the playoff hunt. They have even better news, as Justin Jefferson could possibly make his return. Minnesota is an underdog, and understandably with their situation. Still, you can't ignore how well they're playing and how Dobbs was able to adjust to an offense he knew nothing about. The Saints have also played close games against some bad teams, so expect the Vikings to remain competitive
Pick: Vikings +3

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
