The Minnesota Vikings will try to keep the momentum going and remain undefeated as they head out on the road this week to face the New Orleans Saints. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA, with coverage provided by Fox.

New Orleans came into this season with a lot of hope after getting hot down the stretch last season once Tyler Shough was named QB1. They let the Lions game in Week 1 slip away late, beat the Ravens, and lost the lead to the Raiders in the fourth quarter. Last week’s game vs. Atlanta is the only one they weren’t really competitive in.

As for the Vikings, they are undefeated heading into Week 5 despite only generating 1.5 yards per game more than the Tennessee Titans (who have the worst offense in the NFL this season). Kyler Murray hasn't been able to get the offense on track and is averaging just 144.3 passing yards per game. But with the defense holding teams to a league-low 12.8 points per game, they’ve gotten by with minimal offense.

Our New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction

I'm not sure what the public is seeing that could encourage so much betting on the OVER. Yes, the Saints have been scoring points, but they can’t run the ball and have not faced a defense as tough as Minnesota’s. The Saints' defense isn't great (360.3 yards and 32 points per game allowed), but I don’t think that means we’ll finally see a good game from Kyler Murray. Minnesota will win, but I’m not sure they’ll win by more than a touchdown. However, I am confident this will be a low-scoring game.

Our Minnesota vs. New Orleans Pick: UNDER 42.5
