The New Orleans Saints look to extend their winning streak against the Seattle Seahawks to four games when the NFL teams meet Sunday in Louisiana.
The Saints lead the all-time series 9-8, thanks to winning the three games since 2016. The Seahawks won the previous three games before that.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz:
Seattle is definitely entertaining, and they actually might be good, folks. After four weeks, the Seahawks’ offense ranks No. 1 in the NFC. Yes, you read that correctly.
According to expected points added (EPA), the Hawks are slightly ahead of the Eagles, but they did just face a (Lions) defense allowing 35 points per game. On the other side of the ball, Seattle ranks near the bottom of the NFL on defense. What does that mean for this week? Well, New Orleans is not healthy nor playing particularly well.
The Saints defense was ranked 26th in DVOA entering their game against the Vikings in London, and they lived up to that ranking. The Vikings were able to move the ball but stalled out too much in the red zone, kicking five field goals in a 28-25 win.
The Saints now have to travel back from London and will attempt to get their quarterback, best running back and best receiver back on the field to face a feisty Seahawks team. I’ll gladly take the points early with the Seahawks in this spot.
PICK: Seahawks (+5.5 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 5.5 points (or win outright)
