Can the Saints and Falcons hit the Over Thursday Night?

Thursday night will be packed with action as the New Orleans Saints travel to Georgia to battle the Atlanta Falcons.

It’s been a different season for both clubs. The Saints find themselves at the top of their division with a 9-2 record. In the basement of the NFC South, you’ll be able to find the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has 3 wins to their credit and 8 losses.

※ Current Odds Date & Time: November 27th, 8:30 p.m. (EST)

Online bookmaker 5Dimes has set the O/U for this contest at 48½.

The Saints are on pace to punch their ticket to the postseason. Meanwhile, the Falcons will need a miracle to capture a playoff berth.

This marks the second (and final) meeting between these two NFC rivals. Earlier this season, the Falcons would hand the Saints’ their second loss of the season with a 26-9 victory. Could lightning strike twice Thursday night?

Since that loss to the Falcons, the Saints have put up 68 points over two games, defeating the Buccaneers and Panthers in back-to-back weeks.

Julio Jones is listed as questionable for this contest. Meanwhile, the Saints have several offensive linemen listed as OUT for tonight’s game. Marshon Lattimore is listed as questionable.

New Orleans has the 9th ranked offense in the league. They should have a relatively easy day on the gridiron, as the Falcons’ defense is ranked 28th in the NFL.

Calvin Ridley may be the saving grace for a rather dismal season. Ridley is tied with Austin Hooper for receiving touchdowns but has been a consistent player through his 8 starts.

It should be business as usual for New Orleans. But they will need to look back at film and ensure what happened during their first loss to Atlanta doesn’t happen again.
