Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints Week 3 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Atlanta Falcons (1-1) at (-3) New Orleans Saints (0-2), 8:30 p.m.
Mike: Saints. The Saints, overall, are overvalued at home, going 4-9-1 against the spread in their last 15 home games. Against Atlanta, though, it’s a different story, with New Orleans 4-1 ATS.
Ricky: Falcons. This should be a fun game featuring two very good offenses. We’ll roll with Atlanta for the sake of playing devil’s advocate.
Andre: Saints. In what might be the most surprising stat of the season so far, the Saints have allowed only one passing touchdown all season. The Falcons have allowed a league-leading seven passing touchdowns. This should be a shootout and I?ll side with the home team.
