Mahomes, Chiefs Starters to Play 1st Half Saturday vs. Lions

Week 2 of the NFL preseason carries on, and we have a fun Sunday Night Football showdown set for a national television audience with the San Francisco 49ers set to host the New Orleans Saints. Here are our best bets and players to watch.

<h2>Saints vs. 49ers Best Bet ATS: Saints ML</h2>
The Saints enter Sunday night as a narrow 1.5-point favorite, and they were rather impressive in their Week 1 win against the Arizona Cardinals, who played a fair amount of their starters. The Saints weren&#8217;t afraid to play some of their starters on the defensive side of the ball. On offense, the backup offense moved the ball well with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/spencer-rattler/60017">Spencer Rattler</a> under center. For San Francisco, few key players took the field last week in their loss, and few are expected to take it again. The Saints enter Sunday as the better team on the field, and by all indications, they also play harder. Saints ML it is.
<h2>Saints vs. 49ers Best Bet Total: UNDER 38.5 </h2>
Neither of the Saints or 49ers Week 1 games was even close to tonight&#8217;s projected total of 38.5 points, and 38.5 points is one of the highest totals you&#8217;ll see in preseason action. While we may be high on Rattler&#8217;s ability to move the ball, we have no reason to expect either team to move the ball enough to surpass such a high total. The under it is.

<h2>Saints Offensive Player To Watch: Spencer Rattler, QB</h2>
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/derek-carr/1084">Derek Carr&#8217;s</a> first season in New Orleans was nothing short of a disaster, and who is to say the Saints don&#8217;t have a short leash on their veteran quarterback? Outside of all the money they owe him, if things start poorly this season, they could very conceivably pull the plug and go another way at the quarterback position. Once upon a time, Rattler was viewed as a potential top-quarterback prospect, but the Saints were able to grab him in the fifth round after a tumultuous collegiate career. The talent is there, so seeing him on the field as much as possible will be fun, especially seeing whether or not he could be a potential NFL starter down the line.
<h2>Saints Defensive Player to Watch: Kool-Aid McKinstry</h2>
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/kool-aid-mckinstry/60336">Kool-Aid McKinstry</a> was the Saints&#8217; second-round draft choice in this spring&#8217;s draft, and he is setting up to be a long-term answer in the secondary opposite of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/marshon-lattimore/16050">Marshon Lattimore</a>. He showed flashes last week against the Cardinals and has impressed during training camp thus far, so seeing him again get real NFL reps will be worthwhile. According to some pundits, he could be a future Pro Bowl corner, so keep an extra eye on him this Sunday.
<h2>49ers Offensive Player to Watch: Jacob Cowing, WR</h2>
The 49ers wide receiver is in disarray right now as they wait for a final decision on <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/brandon-aiyuk/2653">Brandon Aiyuk&#8217;s</a> future, and their first-round pick <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/ricky-pearsall/67399">Ricky Pearsall</a> has been sidelined for most of training camp due to injury. Outside of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/deebo-samuel/2629">Deebo Samuel</a>, there are plenty of reps to be had, and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jacob-cowing/60021">Jacob Cowing</a> has finally had a chance to showcase some of his talents after he was sidelined for the first portion of training camp due to injury. The fourth-round draft pick wasn&#8217;t expected to be a significant contributor when drafted. Still, the 49ers were very high on him, and now he might be vaulted into an ample opportunity if the wide receiver&#8217;s room continues to be a mess. Cowing didn&#8217;t play last week but is expected to play Sunday night and will have a lot riding on his performance.
<h2>49ers Defensive Player to Watch: Renardo Green, CB</h2>
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/renardo-green/60020">Renardo Green</a> has been praised a ton coming out of the 49ers&#8217; training camp thus far, and the second-round pick has a very viable opportunity to start or see a ton of snaps right away on this elite 49ers defense. He&#8217;s still in competition with other veterans in a very deep secondary with plenty of starting-caliber options. Still, Green has continued to stand out, and Sunday gives him another ample opportunity to further his case to start immediately at either the nickel or on the outside.
