The New Orleans Saints are home favorites over the Cleveland Browns ahead of their 1 p.m. ET kickoff at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday, Nov. 8, and my Browns vs. Saints prediction expects them to pull off the win.
Cleveland has been a mess defensively and is turning to backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders in Week 9, which is why my favorite NFL picks lean New Orleans on Sunday afternoon.
TOP PICK
Browns vs Saints prediction: Saints moneyline
I recommend the New Orleans Saints moneyline up to 65%.
This is the third consecutive road game for the Cleveland Browns, while the Saints are coming off their bye week.
Cleveland has also dipped to 28th in EPA per play and 26th in offensive DVOA over the past four weeks, and the Browns will have backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders behind center.
Sanders threw for just 6.5 yards per attempt with a 51.9% completion percentage across his three road starts in 2025, and he finished the season with the lowest EPA per play and second-lowest completion percentage over expected among qualified QBs.
New Orleans is positioned to outscore Cleveland. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has led the offense to an above-average 23.1 points per game, and New Orleans will also have key starters back on the field on both sides of the ball.
COVERS INTEL: The Saints rank seventh in third-down conversion rate, while the Browns rank 30th.
Browns vs Saints combo
A huge part of the Cleveland defensive collapse has been against the run, with the Browns allowing the highest explosive run percentage and yards after contact per attempt over the past four weeks.
Cleveland has allowed six rushing touchdowns and five different running backs to top 50 rushing yards during the skid.
It's the perfect matchup for Saints running back Kendre Miller to leave his mark on the game sheet, and he's handled 34.3% of the Saints' red-zone carries and 30.8% of the goal-line carries this season.
Browns vs Saints combo
- Saints moneyline
- Kendre Miller 40+ rushing yards
- Kendre Miller anytime touchdown
Browns vs Saints touchdown scorer: Kendre Miller
Miller has the favorable matchup and role to score against the Browns in Week 9, so I recommend this touchdown prop up to 40%.
Cleveland ranks 20th in run defense grade and 24th in tackle grade, per PFF, for the season, and even with stopping the run being a huge focus for the Browns leading into this game, there's plenty of room for improvement in that department before it becomes a concern for the rested New Orleans rushing attack.
Shedeur Sanders player prop: 20+ rushing yards
This prop is in play up to 52% because Sanders rushed for at least 20 yards in each of his final five 2025 starts with an impressive 9.3 yards per carry. Additionally, all three mobile quarterbacks the Saints have faced this season have topped 20 rushing yards.
- Lamar Jackson: 34 yards on four attempts
- Kyler Murray: 51 yards on 10 attempts
- J.J. McCarthy: 26 yards on two attempts
- Top picks: 47-42, +6.13 units
- Combos: 1-18, -12.0 units
