New Orleans -3.5 2 units
I was happy enough to play this at -6 which is the line I saw earlier in the week, maybe it was wrong. Seriously this is the worst possible matchup for GB right now, to have a high powered offense coming in vs their banged up defense that is already very inconsistent. Hundley isn't a bad QB, he looked in preseason but is he going to be able to match strides with a legend like Brees? I dont think so. I have in the past often made money betting on backup QBs, this is not one of those situations, Rodgers IS the Packers. They have no RBs no secondary, without his magic they are toast here.
NO's defense has improved a lot and with their pass rush they can give Hundley problems. Playing the Saints in GB instead of at the dome is an advantage but really that is offset by the fact that their will be a ton of pressure on the young QB to keep the ship afloat at Lambeau.
I think the Saints now that they have a bit of defense their confidence is much higher, and with Brees not getting younger I think they are going to really make a push this year to go deep and they won't miss this opportunity. They destroyed Detroit last week and GB without Rodgers is a worse team than the Lions IMO.
