The Over/Under For Saturday's Saints/Browns Is 32 Points, Which Is An Abomination For An NFL Game

I was perusing through the NFL lines for the coming week and had to do a double take when I saw this. The Over/Under for New Orleans at Cleveland is 31.5 on the Barstool Sportsbook?!?!? The lowest I have seen in the NFL this year is 36.5 and this is almost a FULL 5 points lower. Nothing has been remotely close to this. 

I do admit that both teams have been offensively challenged. The Saints have not exactly lit up scoreboards with the Red Rifle, no Sean Payton and a slew of injuries. DeShaun Watson has been showing a ton of rust in his first 3 Cleveland starts since coming off his 11 game suspension and sitting out the 2021 season. Hell, Cleveland won 13-3 over Baltimore last week in a "shootout".

But those factors did not seem like quite enough to make the total that low. Then I checked the weather report and it is a DOOZY!

YIKES! There's no chance in hell I am betting the Over EVEN at 32. Times sure have changed since Drew Brees was in NOLA. This does not sound like a great Saturday in Cleveland.
