NFL Spreads This Week: Bet Vikings Over Saint
The Minnesota Vikings will host the New Orleans Saints this Sunday for NFL Week 10. Let’s take a look at our daily best bet for this Saints-Vikings matchup.
New Orleans is coming off a 24-17 victory over Chicago in Week 9. The Saints appear to have figured out how to get TaysomHill snaps at both running back and wildcat quarterback. Derek Carr also had a solid outing against the Bears’ defense, throwing for 211 yards and two touchdowns while completing more than 73% of passes.

Minnesota made headlines with their 31-28 win in Atlanta, with Josh Dobbs inserted into the game days after arriving via a trade from Arizona. The Vikings are very much in the playoff picture despite their injury woes.
Here are my NFL predictions for the Saints-Vikings matchup.

Can Vikings Keep Winning Without Cousins?
The Vikings enter this matchup on a four-game winning streak. It is important to note that three of these games took place with Kirk Cousins as the team’s QB1.
Now, Cousins is lost for the season with an ACL injury, but Dobbs impressed during his Minnesota debut, especially given the circumstances. Dobbs was seen on the sideline going over cadence with his new center.

It is reasonable to think Dobbs can perform even better after a full week of practice. Yet, Dobbs gets a challenging matchup against a top-10 Saints defense.
New Orleans is allowing 19 points per contest, which puts the Saints unit at No. 7 in the league. The question is, what version of the New Orleans offense will travel to Minnesota? The Saints are on a two-game winning streak of their own.
Saints-Vikings Prediction: Dobbs Stays Hot
Minnesota is on a four-game winning streak yet finds itself as a home underdog in Las Vegas odds. The obvious reason is that the Vikings are without Cousins.
New Orleans is on their own winning streak but has now beaten two straight teams without their starting quarterback in the Bears and Colts. Now, the Saints face a Vikings team that is also without their QB1.
JOSH DOBBS MAGIC 🪄
He was traded to Minnesota on Tuesday 🤯

Count me as a believer that Dobbs can have success in this offense. Give me the three points with the Vikings able to pull off the upset. Bet online for Minnesota to cover the spread.
NFL Pick ATS: Minnesota Vikings +3
