Taking down Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in his first postseason start would certainly silence many of those doubters, leaving Minnesota with even shorter odds to win Super Bowl 52. Saints vs Vikings Betting Opportunities Betting the Moneyline. BEST SAINTS MONEYLINE: +195. BEST VIKINGS MONEYLINE: -200. SAINTS STRAIGHT-UP TRENDS. How to bet on the New Orleans Saints Moneyline. The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example: Saints -150; Colts +210; The Saints are considered favorites in this matchup.
This year’s playoff loss feels different. While the Saints will continue to be relevant under Sean Payton and their talented roster, things will be different in New Orleans. Drew Brees turned around to view the Superdome one more time before exiting in black and gold for what is rumored to be the last time of his career. It’s likely the end of an era and the Saints now move in another direction.
More big names could be moving on this offseason; superstar receiver Michael Thomas had a frustrating season plagued with injury and few targets (in games he played) just a season after breaking the NFL season receptions record. Veteran Jared Cook, safety Marcus Williams, and team sacks leader Trey Hendrickson are all poised for free agency this year. New Orleans is also faced with an interesting decision when it comes to handling Taysom Hill and free-agent-to-be Jameis Winston.
Can the Saints continue their relevancy with Tom Brady remaining in-division? Who will assume the starting quarterback duties for New Orleans? They’ll be one of the more interesting teams to follow this coming offseason.

Saints prop bets
Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. Alvin Kamara was one of the most all-around dominant players in the NFL this past season, making him a bettor’s favorite for prop betting. For example, Kamara’s projected receiving total for the Saints’ Week 3 matchup with the Green Bay Packers was 49.5 yards. That game, he went off for 139 receiving yards, giving those who bet the over on that prop the win.

Saints futures odds
Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:
2020 Odds to win NFL DROY
- Chase Young -110
- Patrick Queen +450
- Kenneth Murray +1000
- Jaylon Johnson +1500
This line for the Defensive Rookie of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Queen opened with odds of +900 to win the DROY award after the NFL Draft; his odds will shift as the season develops based on his performance for the Ravens defense.
Saints Super Bowl LVI odds
The New Orleans Saints opened at +1700 to win Super Bowl LVI. Those odds are among the best in the NFC (fourth) and the NFL (eighth), but are dipped compared to recent years. The rumored retirement of Drew Brees is likely to blame.
Saints NFC South odds
The New Orleans Saints won their seventh NFC South title in 2020 and are expected to battle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the crown again in 2021.

How to bet on the New Orleans Saints
Moneyline
The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:
- Saints -150
- Colts +210
The Saints are considered favorites in this matchup (indicated by -150), requiring a $150 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The Colts are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $310 total for a $100 bet ($210 in winnings). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.
Point spread
Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:
- Saints -1.5 (-110)
- Bills +1.5 (-110)
In this example, New Orleans is favored by 1.5 points, indicated by “-1.5.” If the Saints win the game 31-27, the Saints (-1.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Bills keep the game within two or win the game outright– say they win 31-30– the Bills (+1.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.
Point total (over/under)
The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Saints’ Week 15 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs had a 54.5 point over/under. The Saints came up short in a 39-32 shootout, resulting in 71 total points. Those that bet the over in the game would have cashed out.
In-play and live betting
Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Saints (-225) were heavily favored against the Panthers (+190) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Saints to win would win just $4.44.
However, say the Saints fell to a big 21-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to a costly turnover or special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Panthers, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Saints to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take New Orleans (+130) at halftime and the Saints pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $4.44 (plus the initial $10 bet).
This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Panthers (+190) in that game, but New Orleans jumps out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on New Orleans (-270) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.

Parlays and teasers
You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.
Saints 2020 recap
Record: 12-4
Cowboys Saints Moneyline
Record ATS: 9-7
Over/under record: 10-6
There’s no doubt the New Orleans Saints were one of the best teams in the NFL in 2020. They came up short in the NFC Divisional Round and cast doubt on the future of the organization, but 12-4 is nothing to be disappointed in. They were the only team in the league to finish in the top five in both scoring offense and scoring defense; their run defense was fearsome and Alvin Kamara was, at times, a one-man wrecking crew.
There were few blemishes on the Saints record– so few that it might be forgotten they had backup quarterback Taysom Hill leading the charge for the better part of the late season. However, it did lead to some games being closer than they needed, namely against the Falcons and Eagles. The season started off poorly under Drew Brees (1-2 including a loss to the Raiders), but they managed to win 11 of their last 13 games.
Saints 2021 offseason moves
Key free agents: Nick Easton (LG), Marcus Williams (S), Alex Anzalone (LB), Trey Hendrickson (EDGE)
Draft pick position needs: CB, EDGE, WR
There’s few free agents due for the Saints this year; New Orleans already released Jared Cook and Sheldon Rankins, indicating the team will surely move on from them. The two names that stand out as priority for the Saints are safety Marcus Williams and edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. The latter finished tied for second in the league with 13.5 sacks (Aaron Donald) and is projected to garner $11-15 million in free agency. Optimism doesn’t land with the Saints, who find themselves in cap space hell this offseason. It’ll likely be a lot of losing and not much gaining ahead of the 2021 campaign.
The Saints sit 28th in the draft order and the team will need to get their picks right. Without any cap space to spare and very few assets to dish, New Orleans will likely be conservative with their picks. Players like Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton and Tulsa’s Zaven Collins have been mentioned with NOLA. Most of the positional needs like corner and edge rusher are devoid at the end of the first round, with many going just ahead to teams like Cleveland and Tennessee. However, players like LSU receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. can’t be ruled out as being a potential target for the Saints.
