Betting the New Orleans Saints (5-9 SU, 6-8 ATS, 7-7 o/u)

In what’s been a downright turbulent season in NOLA, the Saints have failed to record a winning season for the second time in three years. Amidst a myriad of injuries on both sides of the football, coaching changes, and no shortage of drama, the Saints have been one of the most disappointing teams of the 2024 season.

After losing starting quarterback Derek Carr back in Week 14 due to a hand injury, the Saints have failed to perform without him in the lineup.

The Saints haven’t just been a poor performer in the NFL standings overall this season, but also from a betting perspective. With a losing record against the spread and an inconsistent 50-50 ratio when it comes to the over/under, the Saints have been one of the toughest teams to profit off of this year, unless you’ve been fading them on the moneyline.

Now set for a road matchup against one of the best teams in the NFL, the Saints’ pitiful season will likely continue.

Betting the Green Bay Packers (10-4 SU, 8-6 ATS, 6-7-1 o/u)

Hot off the heels of a sensational showing against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football in Week 15, the Packers are set to remain in the limelight as they’ll look to make it back-to-back primetime victories on Monday evening.

With their dynamic team continuing to get better week-after-week, the youngest roster in the NFL may be primed for Super Bowl run this season. Sporting a dynamic offence to go along with an underrated defence, the Packers have had no trouble laying the boots to inferior competition.

While the Packers have found no shortage of success when it comes to wins and losses in 2024, they’ve only been mediocre when it comes to their betting trends. Even with a winning record against the spread, it hasn’t been by much, having only covered in 57% of their games played. Additionally, their point totals have been wildly unpredictable, with some matchups being a high-scoring shootout, while the other half are methodical, slow-paced contests.

Key Injuries

Neither team has been a stranger to injuries this season, but the Saints are in far worse shape than the Packers heading into their duel on Monday Night Football.

Along with QB Derek Carr set to be missing in action, the Saints injury report also lists RB Alvin Kamara, WR Bub Means, and WR Chris Olave as out. WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling (chest) is questionable.

For the Packers, S Javon Bullard (ankle) and LB Quay Walker are out. CB Jaire Alexander (knee), DB Corey Ballentine (knee), TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) and S Evan Williams (quad) are questionable.

Weather

Get ready for a winter classic on Monday Night Football as the Saints vs. Packers is forecasted to receive light snow showers just prior to the game, which could make for slippery conditions. Temperatures will be around the freezing mark with light winds out of the north.

  • Having struggled to perform on the road, the Saints are 2-4 ATS as the away team in 2024.
  • The Saints have finished three straight games with a matchup point total of 35 points or less.
  • This season, there have been 10 games with a point spread of 10 points or greater. In these matchups the favoured team has covered 60% of the time.
  • The Packers are 8-1 SU as favourites in 2024.
  • The Saints haven’t had a receiver tally over 65 yards in three straight games.
  • Set to face the fourth-worst passing defence in the NFL, look for Packers quarterback Jordan Love to torch the opposing secondary for over his 231.5-yard passing total.
  • One of the best rushers in the game, Packers running back Josh Jacobs has recorded at least 60 rushing yards in nine of his last 10 games played.

Saints vs. Packers Predictions

  • Heading into their Monday Night Football matchup as the biggest favourites of the 2024 season thus far, look for the Packers to lay the smack down on the Saints as they cover the massive 14-point spread at home. With the Saints offence devoid of momentum, talent, and reliable play, things are sure to get ugly fast in this tilt. Look for the elite Packers offence to have no trouble moving the ball downfield as they generate several scoring drives, while the Saints remain stagnant throughout the contest. Back the Packers as -14 favourites and win big on the largest spread of the NFL season.
  • While the Packers may have no trouble running up the score, expect to see the final point total to remain low as the under hits on Monday Night Football. With the Saints having struggled to produce offensively this season, expect the scoring to be largely one-sided, with the Packers having no trouble milking the clock after building a convincing lead. Bet the under on the latest Monday Night Football odds and watch as your bankroll rises while the scoreboard remains low.
