We don’t have much concrete information as to how long the starters for both of these teams will play, if at all. So, that requires us to do some reading between the line movement. The Saints opened at -1 and sit at -3 as of late Friday night. That line movement in New Orleans’ favor suggests the Saints will give their starters some more playing time than the Chargers. And that strategy makes sense for New Orleans when considering that Jameis Winston still needs to build chemistry with new weapons like Chris Olave. Without any more concrete information, this game will likely be a pass for me. However, if I had to lean one way, I’d stick with my preseason trend of isolating starters playing against backups in the first half. I’ll lean with New Orleans in the first 30 minutes, presuming they give their starters some run.
