Even though the Saints turned in their best defensive game of the season by beating the 49ers 31-17 on Sunday, they will face a much stiffer challenge in the Vikings running attack.

Adrian Peterson ranks second in the NFL with 420 yards and will be looking to bust out after being held to under 100 yards in two straight games.

The Saints offense has been all about Drew Brees. He the NFL’s third-highest rated passer and the Saints are averaging a league-best 327.3 passing yards per game.

New Orleans has lost 17 of 24 regular-season contests between these two teams, including six of the last seven. Can Brees lead the 3.5-point favored Saints to the win and remain undefeated at the Superdome this season? Get your NFL odds and place your bets.
