New Orleans Saints vs Green Bay Packers Prediction
The Green Bay Packers are the better, healthier team, and a blowout win wouldn't be shocking. However, this is a lot of points and the hook could be key to cashing the ticket. Also, this is the first time the Packers are a double-digit favorite since September 2022. The Saints have also won and covered 3 of their last 5 games, so let's not act like they're not out here competing still. The Saints nearly just upset the Commanders as 7.5-point dogs. I'm not a fan of these giant lines. Give me the Saints and the points.
