Monday Night Football Best Bets for Saints vs. Seahawks
Monday Night Football in Week 7 will feature the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks.
Jameis Winston versus Geno Smith should be quite the quarterback matchup, and the oddsmakers at WynnBET has actually moved the line for tonight's game in favor of Seattle.
The Seahawks are still four-point underdogs at home, but history says that they may be a good bet as Jameis has struggled as a favorite in his career.

D.K. Metcalf OVER 4.5 Catches (-125)
D.K. Metcalf has made over four catches in four of his six games this season, and he’s coming off a six-catch game in Smith’s start last week.
Metcalf saw seven targets in Week 6, and he also had a strong rapport with Smith in Week 5 when he relieved the injured Russell Wilson, catching a late touchdown.
If Seattle is going to stay in this game, Metcalf needs to be heavily involved. -- Peter Dewey
Seattle Seahawks Team Total UNDER 19.5 Points (-120)
There's rain and wind in the forecast in Seattle on Monday night which is going to make life even more difficult for Geno Smith. Not only is Smith going to struggle to move the ball down the field against a well rested Saints team, he's not going to be able to hand the ball off and alleviate some pressure.
New Orleans is top five in defensive Rush/EPA, and will have no issue putting the Seahawks behind the sticks. I also expect the Seattle offense to be on the sidelines a ton. The Saints are ninth in time of possession percentage over their last three, while the Seahawks are bottom five.
Alvin Kamara and company will be able to pound the rock and control the clock, giving the home team limited opportunities to score. -- Reed Wallach
Alvin Kamara OVER 30.5 Receiving yards (-115)
On Sunday, I wrote about how I planned to take the under on Derrick Henry's rushing yards due to both the inflated line against KC's 30th ranked rush defense, as well as a game script that would likely involve more of the passing game.
The under hit, but I couldn't have been more wrong about how it happened!
Tonight, I'll take a similar philosophy. With bad weather in the forecast and a Seahawks' defense that's bottom-eight versus the run, it seems like a no-brainer to take the OVER for Kamara rushing yards at 95.5, right? Not so fast.
Instead, I'll take the over on Kamara, but for receiving yards at 30.5, who saw a season high in targets in Week 5. He's caught 80-plus passes in every season of his career, and with bad weather, the short passing game will be in full effect. -- Ben Heisler
