New Orleans Saints: 3 Bold predictions vs. Rams in Week 12

1. The Saints just barely get their ninth-straight win

The New Orleans Saints just got their eighth-straight win. It’s a huge achievement especially after winning only seven games last season. Going against the Rams this week, the Saints are the underdog. It’s a pretty even match surprisingly after Brees light up the Rams last year.

Considering all the hype, all the matchups and play of both teams, I predict the Saints will get their ninth-straight win. However, it’s not going to be easy and the Saints will likely fall behind quick as they have recently. In the second half, they’ve truly come alive and that’s what I predict will happen against the Rams.

The Rams D will all but shut down the passing game, leaving room for Ingram and Kamara to run. With such a heavy workload on the ground, most of the points will via rushing or field goals made by Wil Lutz. Personally, I think the game’s going to be incredibly close and will be decided by a margin of three points or less.
