New Orleans opened as an 8-point favorites and now reaches 10 to become the biggest favorite of the weekend. The total has remained at 47.5 units.
The biggest question for this game is the status of Alvin Kamara, running back for the New Orleans Saints. After missing week 17 for testing positive for COVID-19, there is a chance you will return in time for this encounter.
Another on his way to return to activity is Michael Thomas, who will be activated from the disabled list. Although the star names are on offense, it is the Saints defense that has been dominant and finished the regular season as the second-best in the league in defensive efficiency rankings.
At first glance, Chicago’s offense was revived with the return of Mitch Trubisky, yet when we analyzed the matchups, three of his games were previously the worst defenses in the NFL according to DVOA rankings (Jaguars, Texans and Lions).
Since 2005, double-digit favorites in the Wild Card Round are 5-1 against the spread.
Trends:
- Saints come on a 7-1-1 ATS streak in their last 9 games
- Chicago is 2-7 ATS in their last playoff appearances
- 58% of bettors are with the Saints
- The Over / Altas has generated more interest with 60% of the bets
Conclusions:
Although historically double-digit favorites have performed well in the Wild Card round, I am not comfortable with such a large number. At the same time, I’m convinced that if the Saints defense dominates Trubisky and company, the total offers us a lot of value.
Pick: Under 47.5
