New Orleans +7 over Seattle

4:05 PM ET. Seattle put up 31 last week on Pittsburgh and suddenly the market wants you to believe that Sam Darnold has turned into Joe Montana. That’s the NFL in a nutshell—one week’s performance drives the line, while everything else gets tossed aside. The Seahawks are being priced here like a top-five team, and we’re not buying. Kenneth Walker looked great, Cooper Kupp was involved, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba flashed, but it’s still Sam Darnold at quarterback and Seattle still has major holes in the trenches. One clean game against a fragile Steelers team doesn’t erase who they are at their core.

Meanwhile, New Orleans rolls into this one 0-2, and the narrative writes itself: “rebuilding, rookie QB, no chance in Seattle.” That’s exactly the type of team we want to get behind. Spencer Rattler hasn’t been perfect, but the kid competes, and this offense has actually moved the ball in spurts. The Saints were a handful of plays from beating Arizona in Week 1 and nearly pulled one off against San Francisco despite trotting out half of a practice squad at wideout. That’s not nothing. The box scores show losses, but the underlying play suggests a team that’s hanging around and improving.

The betting window is where perception meets reality, and this number is inflated on Seattle hype. New Orleans isn’t flying across the country to roll over, and history shows us the Saints have a knack for giving the Seahawks problems. Seven points is a mountain in the NFL, and the underdog is absolutely live here. While we’re down on New Orleans long-term, in this spot they’re the value play.
