The road on this recreation moved a ton because it opened at Saints +3.5, however their whooping of the Cowboys mixed with the Eagles dropping their Monday Night time Soccer recreation at residence towards the Atlanta Falcons shifted the road 5 full factors.
The Saints entered this season with many anticipating little greater than mediocrity, however this offense has been explosive and put up 91 factors throughout two weeks when offense league-wide has been method down.
Derek Carr has simply 9 completions in two video games whereas main the league with 5 passing touchdowns, and if he retains this up, he simply may get Saints followers to cease booing him and purchase into what this group is constructing.
This bettor would gather $25,000 in the event that they win, and given the truth that the -2.5 is at -120 odds, that line might maintain transferring and may hit -3 by kickoff.
Las Vegas is clearly bored with getting burned on the Saints via two weeks and is beginning to shift strains extra of their favor.
