New Orleans Saints versus Washington Football Team Final Betting Prediction

The Saints should have easily handled the New York Giants. Allowing the Giants to rally and win the game had to hurt, which is why the Saints should easily beat the WFT and cover this spread.

Sean Payton knows the reason New Orleans fell to the Giants is because he and his team didn’t go for the knockout blow. Expect Payton to open the playbook in this game.

The Saints will let Jameis Winston loose. The former Buccaneer has a cannon for an arm. Jameis has thrown 86 passes this season, which is less than 22 per game. Payton will call plays that allows Winston to heave it downfield.

Then, once he’s got the WFT thinking pass, Payton will get aggressive with the rushing attack, subbing Winston for Taysom Hill. The Saints head coach knows he’s got to let go of the reins. Doing so should lead to a New Orleans win and cover.
