The first London game of the year is here! The New Orleans Saints will take on the Minnesota Vikings at 9:30 ET on Sunday. The Saints will be without starting quarterback Jameis Winston and 2019 Offensive Player of the Year Michael Thomas. Andy Dalton will rely heavily on Alvin Kamara in the run and pass game to upset the 2-1 Vikings.

Alvin Kamara O/U 85.5 Yards Rushing + Receiving
Kamara is a unique talent in this league. He is known to be used in the passing game often and can create mismatches with opposing linebackers. Kamara is off to a slow start in his 2022 campaign. In Week 1, he totaled 46 yards on 12 touches. He sustained a rib injury that kept him out of Week 2. In Week 3, he started off the game with a 27-yard run and was contained for the rest of the game. He finished with 73 yards on 15 carries and two receptions.
The Saints need Kamara more than ever. Backup quarterback Dalton is being inserted into action and will be leaning on Kamara to pick up the offense. Kamara saw seven targets last week against the Carolina Panthers with Winston but was only able to reel in two catches. Rookie wide receiver Chris Olave will have a ton of attention on him as he was just named Offensive Rookie of the Month. I expect veteran Dalton to get Kamara the ball in space to operate and showcase what he is truly capable of.
The Vikings allowed the running back duo of D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams to run for 118 yards on 27 carries. The Detroit Lions had control for most of the game until a fourth-quarter collapse. Look for the Saints to do all they can to keep the explosive Vikings offense off the field by feeding Kamara the ball.
Kamara averaged over 120 total yards per game last season without Thomas and surpassed this line in seven of 10 games. This will be the coming-out party for Kamara that the Saints need!
Best NFL Player Prop: Alvin Kamara OVER 85.5 Yards Rushing + Receiving (-115, DraftKings)
