Things could change in a hurry, but for now the oddsmakers at BetMGM like the New Orleans Saints to win their Week 1 game with the Green Bay Packers — but barely. BetMGM opened by slightly favoring the Saints (-2.5) against Green Bay, with an over/under tentatively set at 50.5. That suggests a final tally in the neighborhood of Saints 26, Packers 24.
It would be a setback from last year’s higher-scoring matchup, when the Packers left town after a 37-30 victory. That was the Pack’s first win in New Orleans since 1995, and the first of Aaron Rodgers’ career.
