Five teams on upset alert in NFL Week 8

4. New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks (-3.5)

Both teams are coming off of frustrating Week 7 losses. But at least the Saints offense was able put some points on the board. All Seattle could accomplish was a couple of sad field goals in an overtime tie against the Arizona Cardinals.

Week 8 will be different. New Orleans is allowing an astounding average of 32.5 points per game. Seattle should find ways to score more than three-pointers. But, we must keep in mind, the Seahawks offense is averaging just 18.5 points per game.

Quarterback Russell Wilson has been practically stagnant*all season, passing for five touchdowns to date.*Drew Brees has 17 and has thrown for no less than three touchdowns per contest while playing in his home dome.

Some might be wondering why the Seahawks are favored to win in Week 8. It is because they have beat the Saints in their last three games. But that was in Seattle. We just do not see a scenario that has Seattle outscoring the Saints playing in New Orleans. That has not happened since 2004.
