Saints vs. Commanders NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

New Orleans Saints NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

It was far from pretty, but the New Orleans Saints did just about everything needed do to get out of Gotham with the 14-11 non-covering win over the Giants to hold onto its longshot chances of winning the NFC South with only four games remaining on the docket. That included blocking the game-tying field goal attempt at the gun! If Darren Rizzi is able to pull off the feat, the front office better hire him on the spot considering the amount of attrition his roster has been forced to deal with since taking over the reins. The newest injury occurred to Derek Carr’s non-throwing hand with four minutes remaining in the game after the QB1 dove for the pylon and came down hard on his shoulder and hand with the impact resulting in a fracture. With that, the Saints will now be forced to go with either Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler over the next month in hopes of tracking down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the standings. Good luck with that! NFL bettors don’t seem to be of the belief the good times continue to roll in Week 15 betting action when they welcome Jayden Daniels and the well-rested Washington Commanders into the bayou for another must-win matchup that finds the odds stacked heavily against the home team.

Though it logged win No. five, New Orleans’ odds to win Super Bowl LIX remained static at 1000-1, while its odds to win the NFC actually fattened up to 450-1 from 400-1. Its odds to win the NFC South, originally +450, did however hold firm at +7000 with linemakers of the expectation that it’s only a two-horse race between the Bucs (-255) and Falcons (+180). The Saints adjusted in-season win total remained 6.5 with slightly heavier vig now supplanted on the over. Linemakers demanded a $20000 investment to make $100 on the Saints not making the playoffs last week, but that market is no longer being offered—expect it back on the board if an upset of the Commanders occurs. The “Yes” however offers up an attractive 40-1 ROI after initially hitting the board +175.

New Orleans Saints Week 14 Recap

The New Orleans Saints secured a hard-fought 14-11 victory over the New York Giants, highlighted by a dramatic blocked field goal from Bryan Bresee in the final seconds. The win, the Saints' third in four games under interim coach Darren Rizzi, kept their slim NFC South hopes alive. Derek Carr led the Saints with 219 passing yards on 20-of-31 completions, including an 11-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Johnson in the third quarter. The Saints’ other touchdown came on a gritty 8-yard run by Kendre Miller, capping a 98-yard drive in the first quarter. However, Carr's fourth-quarter injury after a diving first-down attempt forced New Orleans to lean heavily on its defense. The Saints' defense stepped up, with Bresee’s late-game heroics preventing a potential game-tying 34-yard field goal from Graham Gano. The Giants, led by backup quarterback Drew Lock, had mounted a strong comeback, including a fourth-quarter touchdown by Tyrone Tracy and a two-point conversion to Malik Nabers. New Orleans' defense held strong when it mattered most, thwarting New York’s final attempts to score a go-ahead touchdown. The Saints’ improved play under Rizzi gives them a glimmer of hope in the lackluster NFC South despite their losing record finds the team 5-8 both straight up and against the closing NFL spread.

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.
