The upcoming game between the Patriots and the Saints is predicted to favor the Patriots by 3 points, with an over/under of 45.5, as their recent offensive improvements are expected to continue.

Historically, the Patriots lead the series 10-6 overall and 5-1 in New Orleans, but they are aiming to end a two-game losing streak against the Saints, with losses in 2021 and 2023.

This pivotal game is scheduled for Sunday, October 12, at 1 p.m. ET at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.

The Saints, after starting the season with four straight losses, finally secured their first win with a 26-14 victory over the Jets, led by quarterback Spencer Rattler, who threw for 22 yards and a touchdown.

The Patriots' offense has shown signs of improvement, highlighted by wide receiver Stefon Diggs' standout performance last week, though they face challenges with ball security from Rhamondre Stevenson and depend on rookie TreVeyon Henderson.

Defensively, the Patriots boast a strong rush defense, ranking fourth in the league, while the Saints excel in pass defense, ranking ninth, contrasting with the Patriots' weaker pass defense, which is 26th.

Coming into the game with a 3-2 record, the Patriots are riding high after a 23-20 victory over the Bills, their first primetime win with quarterback Drake Maye, which has boosted their playoff hopes.
