Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Same-Game Parlay (+528): Alvin Kamara Expected to Shine in Week 1
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Same-Game Parlay (+528): Alvin Kamara Expected to Shine in Week 1
The New Orleans Saints will look for a completely fresh, new start this season. The Saints hired Dennis Allen to be the head coach with the retirement of Sean Payton.
New Orleans will also welcome Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston onto the field. Both were out last year due to injuries. It also doesn't look like Alvin Kamara will be suspended this year due to an ongoing battery case. Therefore, the Saints' offense looks like it can do some real damage.
On the other hand, the Falcons are in rebuilding mode. Marcus Mariota is under center and won't even have Calvin Ridley available this season.
The Falcons are expected a lot from their young rookies and Cordarrelle Patterson, who did most of the bulk work last year. But that was with Matt Ryan at quarterback. Can he repeat the previous year with Mariota under center?

Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Same-Game Parlay Picks
Alvin Kamara Anytime Touchdown (-145)
Kamara appeared in 13 games last season and scored nine touchdowns in those 13 games. Five came in the passing game, while the other four ran the football.
But that's the beauty of taking Kamara. He's a factor in the passing and rushing games and will take on a Falcons team that figures to be one of the worst teams in the league.
The Saints should score a few touchdowns. Alvin Kamara should get one of those. He scored one against the Falcons last year!
Cordarrelle Patterson Under 22.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Patterson was a breakout star last year. He ran 153 times and caught 52 passes on 69 targets.
He had six games where he hauled in at least five catches. But as the season went on, Patterson never really got any targets. Against the Saints, on January 9, Patterson had one catch for one yard.
Patterson fatigued towards the end of the year and wasn't given the same reps. That's what I figure will happen to him this year. Take the under on his receiving yards.
Jameis Winston Under 224.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Winston went down with an injury in late October last season. But before his injury, he had just two games with over 224.5 yards. The Saints never really trusted him, giving him 23 attempts or fewer in his first four games under center.
The Saints figure to be effective in the run game, and when they have a big lead, they will stay far away from throwing the football.
