New Orleans Saints NFL Week 11 Betting Lines

The New Orleans Saints successfully turned the page on their nauseating loss to the Carolina Panthers by outlasting the Atlanta Falcons 20-17 in Week 10 betting action. In doing so, the team finally put an end to their horrid seven-game losing streak that saw it amass a grand total of one NFL spread cover. More importantly, the team seemed to react positively to the dismissal of Dennis Allen and went all-out for interim head coach Darren Rizzi to secure the home dub. The offense looked the best it has in weeks racking up 365 yards of total offense with Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara, and the newly acquired Marquez Valdes-Scantling leading the charge, while the defense came up with a couple red zone stops and the game’s lone turnover. While it would take a Herculean effort to get back into the NFC playoff chase, it’s doable with a number of losing teams on the remaining docket. Take care of business against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11 betting action, and a run is certainly there to be had with games still set to go against the cellar-dweller Rams, Giants, Raiders, and Buccaneers. N’awlens could be in business if it earns at least a split against the Packers and/or Commanders! First things first, get the job done against the rested Browns—a feat NFL bettors don’t believe comes to fruition when gauging early betting action from the online sportsbook.

New Orleans Saints Week 10 Recap

The New Orleans Saints snapped a seven-game losing streak with a thrilling 20-17 outright win and NFL spread cover against the Atlanta Falcons (6-4) in interim coach Darren Rizzi’s debut. Rizzi, promoted after the firing of Dennis Allen, proved to be a breath of fresh air inspiring a unified Saints team to deliver in a high-stakes NFC South showdown preventing it from getting swept in the season rivalry. Derek Carr threw for a season-high 269 yards and two touchdowns, including two key scores to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who finished with 109 yards on three catches. Alvin Kamara added 109 scrimmage yards and became the franchise’s all-time leading rusher with 6,544 yards, surpassing Mark Ingram. The Saints’ defense held strong, with Tyrann Mathieu intercepting Kirk Cousins late in the fourth quarter, and Chase Young sealing the win with a critical sack and strip of the Falcons QB1, forcing Atlanta into a long third down try in the final seconds. New Orleans was outgained 468-365 by Atlanta, but missed scoring chances proved costly. Falcons’ kicker Younghoe Koo missed three field goals, one hitting the upright. With Rizzi’s leadership and a balanced performance, the Saints now look to build momentum as they aim to climb out of the NFC South cellar and improve upon their 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS records heading into the team’s Week 12 bye.

2024 New Orleans Saints Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1967 as an expansion team, the New Orleans Saints have experienced both ineptitude and glory throughout their history. In the early years, the Saints struggled, failing to post a winning record until the 1987 season. Gayle Benson, the widow of the legendary owner Tom Benson, currently owns the team. The original owner, John Mecom Jr., is remembered for fielding colorful but often losing teams. Despite a rocky start, the Saints' history is marked by significant achievements and unforgettable moments.

Despite these tough times, one player stood out: quarterback Archie Manning. Manning became a legend, admired by Saints fans for his efforts on some of the worst teams in the league. The franchise began to turn around under head coach Jim Mora, who led the Saints to their first four playoff berths from 1986 to 1995. This era marked the team's first period of serious contention in the NFL.

The most successful period in Saints history came under head coach Sean Payton, who took over in 2006. From 2006 to 2020, the Saints made nine playoff appearances and won the Super Bowl in the 2009-10 season, the only title in franchise history. Despite being suspended for a season due to the infamous Bountygate scandal, Payton's legacy remains strong, largely due to his partnership with quarterback Drew Brees. Together, they formed one of the NFL's most prolific offenses. Payton might be selected for the Hall of Fame someday, but Brees will enter the Hall as part of the 2024 class.

Since Payton parted ways with the team following the 2021-22 season, the Saints are yet to win the NFC South or punch a ticket to the playoffs as a wild card entrant.
