There is not a lot of confidence in the New Orleans Saints as they get set to square off with the Minnesota Vikings in London, England. According to surveying done by NFL Pickwatch, 83% of pro football experts, media outlets, and fan blogs are picking the Vikings to steamroll the Saints across the pond. The 66% deficit is the sixth-largest across all Week 4 NFL games.
It’s understandable why the Saints are being undervalued in this matchup, though. Starting quarterback Jameis Winston is out while dealing with several injuries and backup signal caller Andy Dalton will make his first start for New Orleans. Dalton will be the team’s seventh starting quarterback since the 2019 season.
