Predictions:
Prediction: Saints 27, Packers 21
Moneyline: Bet on Saints (+100). The Packers are dealing with several injuries, including key players like their top cornerback and running back. The Saints have won both their games this season by a combined margin of just 4 points and are expected to find a way to win on the road again.
Against the spread: Bet on Saints +1.5 (-110). The Packers are dealing with injuries, and even if some players from the injury report play, they are likely to have limited reps. The Saints' offense has been more productive this season, averaging 372 yards per game, while the Packers are averaging just 286. On the defensive side, the Saints are allowing only 277.5 yards per game compared to the Packers' 393.
Over/Under: Lean towards the over with an O/U of 42.5 (-110). Both teams have scored over 43 points in each of their games this season. Additionally, both teams have faced injuries in their secondaries, which could lead to more points being scored. The crowd's energy in the Packers' home opener is also expected to contribute to higher-scoring gameplay.
