NFL's Week 14 sees the Saints making a trip to the Falcons' den, with odds tilting in favor of New Orleans
In the upcoming Week 14 matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, expert predictions and NFL betting picks lean towards the Falcons as the favourites to secure a divisional victory.
The Falcons are currently riding a wave of momentum, having been predicted to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14 with a score of 24-20. This positive outlook is a strong indication of the Falcons' form heading into their clash with the Saints [2].
Moreover, the Falcons have a good chance of achieving an above .500 season, with expert picks suggesting they will win more than 8.5 games (+110) [4]. This capability to outperform in divisional games bodes well for their chances against the Saints.
On the other hand, the Saints are underdogs in most of their 2025 games. Their offensive execution is seen as challenging due to the reliance on inexperienced quarterbacks and a tough early schedule [3]. Despite having key offensive weapons such as Alvin Kamara and WR Chris Olave, and an improving offensive line, the Saints are still expected to struggle to score heavily [1][3].
The NFC South division order is projected with the Saints in first place, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers [1]. However, the Falcons are generally seen with better immediate prospects due to their momentum and roster strength.
Betting Insight:
The betting picks suggest that the Falcons are favoured for the win, riding on their positive momentum and expected to score enough to win this divisional matchup. The Saints, with their challenging offense and youth at QB, are less likely to secure victories in tough games, making them underdogs. As a result, betting picks lean towards the Falcons to win, with a spread possibly favouring them given the Saints’ underdog status.

The largest margin of victory in the series history belongs to the Falcons, who won 62-7 in 1973. Atlanta also holds the longest win streak in the series, winning 10 games between 1995 and 1999.
In summary, the Falcons are favoured to win the Week 14 matchup against the Saints, riding on their positive momentum and expected offensive prowess. The Saints, with their challenging offense and underdog status, are less likely to secure a victory in this divisional showdown.
