Here's a sneak peek at why Mike Spector is predicting the Saints to cover the halftime spread.
"New Orleans will begin with Spencer Rattler under center, who started six games as a rookie last year. While Rattler failed to lead the team to a win in any of those six starts, he has reportedly shown excellent command of the offense so far in camp. I am limiting this wager to just the first half, as it is anyoneโs guess what to expect from Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough when he takes over. "
