Derek Carr was a surprising start for the Saints last week. The nine-year veteran fought through the pain and started for the Saints, but wasn't at his best. This week, the Saints play on the road against the Patriots on Sunday on CBS and Paramount+. The Patriots had quarterback issues of their own last week, pulling Mac Jones early in the third quarter after he completed 12 of 21 passes for 150 yards and two interceptions in a 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. Will either of these quarterbacks rebound in the Week 5 NFL schedule? Patriots running back Rhomandre Stevenson (thigh) is officlally active.

Week 5 NFL picks for Saints vs. Patriots
Before tuning into Sunday's Patriots vs. Saints game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is well up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 168-118 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 22-10 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Saints vs. Patriots, the model is going Over 39 total points. The Patriots have allowed 24.3 points per game this season and the Saints have allowed an average of 22 over their last two contests. Although both teams rank in the bottom quarter of the NFL in scoring, this could be the matchup both quarterbacks are looking for to turn their seasons around.
Three of the Patriots' four games this season have gone over 39 points. The only New England game that went under 39 points was in a heavy rain against the Jets and the weather should be better than that in Foxborough on Sunday. Carr has an additional week to recover from his shoulder injury, which should lead to a stronger performance against New England this week. You may be able to stream the game here.
