Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at the Caesars Superdome on CBS with streaming on Paramount+.
  • New England is 3-2 after a road upset of the Bills, while New Orleans is 1-4 following a turnover-driven win that featured five takeaways and a defensive score.
  • Patriots RB Antonio Gibson is out for the season with a torn ACL and CB Christian Gonzalez is questionable with a hamstring, while the Saints list Alvin Kamara as limited/questionable and CB Isaac Yiadom out.
  • Markets have the Patriots favored by roughly a field goal with a total near 45.5, signaling expectations for a close, pass-tilted game.
  • The spotlight falls on Maye’s efficient air attack with Stefon Diggs’ back-to-back 100-yard games against a revived Saints secondary led by NFC Defensive Player of the Week Kool-Aid McKinstry, as New England’s run game lags and its run defense ranks near the top of the league.
