Saints vs. Packers Week 3 Opening Odds Indicate Close Matchup
Green Bay opens Week 3 as a short favorite at home against New Orleans
By Joe Summers
The Packers fell just short against Atlanta in Week 2, but still sit atop the NFC North with a showdown against the 2-0 Saints ahead this Sunday.
New Orleans has a pair of close wins, but hasn't looked dominant in either game, while Jordan Love has looked comfortable operating Matt LaFleur's offense despite a gaggle of injuries to start the season.
Looking at the opening odds for Week 3, Green Bay is expected to win a tight contest.
Saints vs. Packers Week 3 Opening Odds
The Packers are two-point favorites at home and -130 on the moneyline against the Derek Carr-led Saints.
Through two weeks, Green Bay has the second-most points (62) in the entire NFL, nearly double what New Orleans has put on the board (36). The Packers have just one win in their last four tries against the Saints, but a majority of those losses came with Drew Brees still on the field.
Green Bay is 3-1 outright in its last four as a favorite, though the Saints have covered the spread in three straight games as road underdogs.
This game is a great test for Love and the Packers offense. New Orleans expects to be a playoff team, so Green Bay can assert itself as a true contender with an impressive performance this week.
