The Atlanta Falcons should have fresh legs for their next game, which comes next Monday night on the road against the New Orleans Saints. By then the Falcons will have had 10 days off since their last game, hopefully giving them at least one advantage over their most bitter division rivals.
However, the oddmakers still say the Saints are better and have them favored by a few points. Here are the opening odds for their Week 4 matchup:
The Saints started out their 2026 season with a one-point loss in overtime on the road against the Detroit Lions, proving that they can hang with serious contenders. The following week they beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on the road by a touchdown.
However, this week New Orleans lost to Kirk Cousins and
the surprise 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders at home by a score of 35-27. The Falcons won both matchups against the Saints last season and lead the all-time series 58-56.
Next Monday's game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET.
