Writer’s Prediction

All time, Atlanta boasts a 51-45 record over NFL South rival New Orleans Saints, but that number will edge one step closer to being balanced, as the Saints take the game by at least one touchdown in a game that goes under the 53.5 O/U (even if 53% of bettors currently like the over). Pick: New Orleans Saints (+1)
