Stumbling NFC South squads collide on Sunday afternoon, as the New Orleans Saints host the Atlanta Falcons at Caesars Superdome.
The Saints (2–8) snapped their second four-game losing streak of the season, taking down the Carolina Panthers ahead of their Week 11 bye. The Falcons (3–7), meanwhile, trudge into New Orleans on a five-game slide — punctuated by back-to-back overtime losses to the Indianapolis Colts and Panthers.
Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET. The Saints enter as 1.5-point home favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Falcons are listed as +114 underdogs. The game’s total is set at 40.5 points.
Here are the top player prop bets for Sunday’s Week 12 matchup between the Falcons and Saints.
Falcons vs. Saints Best Prop Bets
Bijan Robinson 90+ Rush Yards (+126)
Star running back Bijan Robinson logged a season-high 23 carries in Atlanta’s most recent game against the Carolina Panthers, during which starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. went down with a season-ending ACL tear.
Robinson piled on 104 rushing yards for two touchdowns, surpassing 90 yards on the ground for the third time this season. With the Falcons rolling out veteran Kirk Cousins under center, count on them to lean on their star running back to shoulder much of the load on Sunday afternoon — especially against a Saints team that has allowed the NFL’s 19th most rushing yards this season.
Kyle Pitts 6+ Receptions (+114)
Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins will make his second start of the season on Sunday, with the team’s top receiver, Drake London, once again watching from the sidelines with an injury.
Cousins started in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins, where he leaned on tight end Kyle Pitts for the bulk of his passes. The former fourth overall pick, who ranks second behind London with 62 targets this season, corralled all nine of his looks for 59 yards.
Count on Cousins to look for Pitts once again on Sunday afternoon.
Alvin Kamara 80+ Rush + Receiving Yards (+117)
Alvin Kamara, currently listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is expected to play against Atlanta — and enters Sunday’s contest after firmly putting the “washed” allegations to rest.
The veteran running back followed up a season-worst performance with one of his best games of the year, piling up 83 rushing yards on 22 carries, while catching all three of his targets for 32 receiving yards (115 total yards). Count on the Saints to keep feeding their RB1, especially against a Falcons team that has allowed the NFL’s sixth most rushing yards this season.
