The New Orleans Saints bounced back from their season-opening home loss to Tampa Bay by capturing a 21-18 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, but they failed to cover the spread as 10-point home favorites. The 39 combined points dropped "under" the 51-point total.
"We took a lot of New Orleans money again last week," said Will Hall, the Sports Book Manager at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. "We had a good bit of money-line plays on the Saints, too, and that was really close to going our way."
Indeed, New Orleans didn't take its first lead until there was 2:40 remaining in the game.
