3. Alvin Kamara accumulates 150 scrimmage yards

If you said that Alvin Kamara would recorded less than 10 yards of rushing against the Panthers, you probably would have called us crazy. Well, that was a reality on Sunday. The dual threat running back was only able to record five rushing yards on eight total carries in the game, while catching four-of-six targets for a total of 25 yards.

It is hard to see Kamara put up another disappointing performance like he did against the Panthers. Luckily for the dual-threat running back, the Patriots defense surrendered a 152 rushing yards on 31 carries by four Jets running backs. That should appease Kamara, who has shown that he can single-handedly put the game in his hands, figuratively and literally.

The Saints will need to work Kamara in their offensive game plan next week if they want to stand a chance against the Patriots. 150 scrimmage yards should be a lock for Kamara.
