Road Team is Hot in Saints-Skins Games
The New Orleans Saints were Sportsbooks of three straight heading into last week’s tilt with the Tennessee Titans but couldn’t make it four in a row, falling to the lowly Titans 34-28 in front of their home crowd. Next up on the docket is another matchup with one of the NFL’s lower-tier clubs, as the Washington Redskins welcome Drew Brees and company to D.C. in NFL Week 10 action.
For some reason, home field advantage hasn’t been much of an advantage at all in this matchup. The road team is 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between the clubs.
New Orleans, who has a bye in Week 11, has historically performed well before taking the week off. The Saints are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games prior to the bye.
