The rushing yards prop for Alvin Kamara against the Falcons is at 48.5. A bet on the over has a payout of -114 compared to the under at -120. The implied odds for the over are 53%. Alvin Kamara faces the Falcons as the 23rd-ranked running back in rushing attempts for the season, amassing 388 yards. Coming into the game, his average yards per carry stands at 3. Going up against a Falcons rush defense that’s currently ranked 14th in rushing yards allowed, I see Kamara receiving plenty of carries and surpassing 48.5 yards.

Falcons VS. Saints Predictions
Atlanta initially opened as a 1.5-point favorite at home. The lines have shifted, now standing at Atlanta -1.
After a lackluster performance in the passing game against Arizona, I’m not expecting Atlanta to bounce back quickly. This is why I’m leaning towards New Orleans as a 1-point underdog.
