Seahawks Vs. Saints: Odds, Analysis, Picks For NFL Week 8 Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season. Here’s who they like in the Seattle Seahawks-New Orleans Saints Week 8 game, with the line from OddsShark.
(-3) Seattle Seahawks at New Orleans Saints, Sunday, 1 p.m.
Mike: Seahawks. This is the game we finally see Russell Wilson and go, “Oh, yeah. That’s why he’s considered one of the best in the business.” The Saints’ defense can do that for a guy.
Ricky: Seahawks. When a good defense faces a good offense, I’ll typically — not always — have more trust in the defense to hold up to its end of the bargain. The Seahawks’ secondary should slow Drew Brees and Co. enough this week, while the Saints’ defense continues to be a disaster.
Andre: Seahawks. There?s the Russell Wilson that goes up against lethal pass rushes (vs. Miami, Los Angeles, Arizona: one touchdown pass, one interception, one interception, 1-1-1 record, 63.5 completion percentage). Then there?s the Wilson that goes up against crappy defenses (vs. San Francisco, New York Jets, Atlanta: 4 TD, 0 INT, 3-0 record, 68.5 completion percentage). The Saints definitely fall in the ?crappy defense? category.
