The Washington Commanders are looking to build some momentum as they travel down south to take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.
With starting quarterback Derek Carr sidelined, my Commanders vs. Saints predictions expect New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara to be a big part of the passing game in my best NFL picks for December 15.
Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with the game airing on FOX.
Commanders vs Saints prediction
Who will win Commanders vs Saints?
The Commanders got back on track last week with a 42-19 win over Tennessee and now face a Saints team with Jake Haener under center.
They’re -400 favorites for a reason and should take care of business in New Orleans.
My best bet
Alvin Kamara Over 3.5 receptions (-160 at BetMGM)
My analysis
New Orleans Saints backup QB Jake Haener is set to make his first career NFL start on Sunday afternoon, and the game plan should be for him to get rid of the ball quickly.
Running back Alvin Kamara has managed to rack up a handful of catches in every start, and the dual-threat back should be a safety valve for Haener on Sunday afternoon.
Not only has Kamara been great rushing the ball this season, but he’s also been a big part of the Saints passing game. The five-time Pro Bowler leads the team in targets (84), catches (64), and yards (485) through 13 games.
Kamara has hauled in at least four catches in 10 straight games, including five in three contests and at least six in five of them. I’d consider laddering the Saints star at both 5+ and 6+ receptions ahead of this Week 15 clash versus the Washington Commanders.

Giving the ball to Kamara may be the only way the Saints find the end zone on Sunday. The Commanders have allowed a running back to reach paydirt in eight of 13 games this season, and this is a great chance for Kamara to get on the board.
Adding the Commanders to win boosts this from +170 to +280 as a contrarian third leg.
