New Orleans Saints vs Los Angeles Chargers Football Preview (10-27-2024). In Week 8, the New Orleans Saints will look to rebound from their worst loss of the year when they host Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. A 36-0 blowout loss against Denver Broncos left only one win and three losses overall this term for New Orleans; their playoff chances appear threatened as a result.
Drew Brees will have difficulty keeping the Saints competitive against a Chargers defense that ranks third in terms of points allowed per game. Running back Alvin Kamara has provided hope with seven rushing and receiving touchdowns this season alone; to remain relevant against such a stingy defense.
Los Angeles will have only a short prep week ahead of this matchup and their offensive struggles against the Cardinals likely won't change much here. Luckily, their defense has been superb recently and should be able to contain Brees.
The game's total has been set at 39.5 points and should remain close to this mark. The over/under has only hit in five Saints games this year while their opponents average just 18.2 points per contest; thus making an under bet safe bet here. Moreover, four out of the Saints five road games have also featured unders.
