Falcons vs Saints: The Best Betting Angle for MNF

Tonight's game is extremely important for the New Orleans Saints, not just because they're 1-2, but because it's the 20 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. All eyes will be on New Orleans tonight. Will Tyler Shough put the league on notice, or will the Saints fall flat on their face in primetime?

Last weekend, Tyler Shough and the Saints blew a game they should have won against the Raiders. They had multiple turnovers late, and ended up losing to Kirk Cousins and Las Vegas. I'd imagine that Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore are coming in pissed off, looking to get some revenge for than atrocious 4th quarter last weekend. That's not a team I'd want to be fading early on in this game. 

I've already seen it... Tyler Shough and the Saints drive down the field on their first drive and score a touchdown. The entire stadium errupts on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, only for the Falcons to eventually come back and win the game, spoiling New Orleans' big night. If that's the case, I don't want a full game wager on the Saints. Let's back New Orleans to win the first quarter, get in and get out. 

I don't know who is winning this game tonight, but I do trust Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough to come out and score on their first scripted drive. Kellen Moore is too smart of an offensive mind to not come out firing with a wicked gamescript in their first drive. If the Falcons find success in this game, it will be with Bijan in the second half against a tired Saints defense. Let's isolate the first quarter and just back the Saints to get out to a nice start on Monday night.
