Alvin Kamara scored all three touchdowns for the Saints, who won outright as 1-point underdogs. The game stayed under the total of 48½.

12:37 p.m.: The Raiders have crossed midfield for the first time this game. It is the two-minute warning.

12:33 p.m.: The Raiders get a fourth-down stop and take over with 3:33 remaining in the fourth quarter and a chance to break the shutout. The Saints are -230 (-23½) on the live line.

12:27 p.m.: The Saints have chewed up most of the clock in the final quarter. The Raiders are -220 (+24½) on the live line, total 29½.

11:04 a.m.: The call on the field stands. Incomplete pass and the Raiders offense continues to sputter like a 1971 Ford Pinto.

11:01 a.m.: The red flag is out and Raiders coach Josh McDaniels is challenging the ruling that Davante Adams did not get two feet down after making a reception along the sideline. Might as well. The Raiders need something to get their offense out of second gear.

10:55 a.m.: Alvin Kamara slips out of the backfield and hauls in the short pass from Andy Dalton, then extends the ball across the goal line to put the Saints on top 17-0 over the Raiders with 7:15 left in the second quarter. The Saints are -900 on the live line (Raiders +575), total 47½.

10:37 a.m.: It’s a fake! And it’s blown up by the Saints. The Raiders lose yards on fourth down on the fake punt and then give up 15 yards thanks to a chop-block penalty. New Orleans takes over inside the Raiders’ 30-yard line early. The Saints are -350 on the live line (Raiders +270), total 46½.

10:30 a.m.: Alvin Kamara was 6-1 to score the first touchdown.

10:27 a.m.: New Orleans’ game plan was clear on that possession. Ride Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill. Kamara gets his first rushing touchdown on the season and the Saints lead 7-0 with 1:32 left in the first quarter. The Saints are -220 on the live line (Raiders +180), total 45½.

10:26 a.m.: The Saints are featuring Taysom Hill on this drive.

10:17 a.m.: Second verse, same as the first. An illegal shift penalty stalls the Raiders drive and leads to a punt. The Raiders are -105 on the live line (Saints -125), total 43½.
