(NFL) New Orleans vs. LA Chargers,
Money Line: -135.00 LA Chargers (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -135.00 LA Chargers (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Both teams are 1-1 after two weeks of the 2018 NFL preseason. Despite Saints' QB Drew Brees seeing his very first action of the preseason, I think the home side is the correct call here.
The teams: Taysom Hill and Tom Savage will be fighting for the backup QB position for New Orleans after Brees exits after the first quarter. Hill was 11 of 15 for 68 yards, while Savage was 6 of 7 for 53 (also getting sacked three times) in last week's 20-15 loss to Arizona.
Chargers' veteran QB Philip Rivers has already played a lot in the pre-season and I think that's a major benefit for the home side here. Last week in the 24-14 win over the Seahawks he was 6 of 7 for 62 yards. Geno Smith was 6 of 8 for 85 yards and a TD, while also adding two 14 yard scrambles.
The pick: I think Brees comes in rusty in his very first live action play and I look for Rivers and the hungry home side to send the fans home happy. Play on LA on the money-line.
