New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons Betting Trends

Updated:Dec 31, 2025 1:30 AM EST

The upcoming NFL game on January 4, 2026, between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA promises an exciting showdown. This Sunday football event is broadcasted on FOX, offering fans a thrilling viewing experience.

The Falcons, favored by 3 points with a total points line of 43.5, hold a slight edge based on recent betting trends. Atlanta's offense averages 210.25 passing yards and 130.56 rushing yards per game, while their defense allows about 198.44 passing yards and 127.38 rushing yards. The Saints' offense is slightly more potent in passing with 218.5 yards but less so in rushing with 93.44 yards, facing a Falcons defense that yields 180.44 passing yards and 125.06 rushing yards.

Quarterback Tyler Shough leads the Saints, likely starting given his full participation in practice, while Atlanta's quarterback depth includes Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins. The Falcons' offensive line and pass protection have been solid, crucial against the Saints' strong pass rush led by defensive ends like Cameron Jordan. Injuries to key players like Alvin Kamara for the Saints and some questionable statuses on Falcons' tight end Kyle Pitts and cornerback Drake London could impact gameplay and betting outcomes.

Recent form favors the Falcons, who won their last meeting 24-10 at Caesars Superdome. The Falcons have a 9-7 ATS record, slightly better than the Saints' 8-8, with home and away splits also favoring Atlanta. These betting stats and game insights suggest a smart bet on the Falcons covering the spread, particularly with their balanced offense and stout defense.
