[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-0) travel to Lambeau Field Sunday to take on the Green Bay Packers (1-1) in Week 3. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Saints vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints beat the Carolina Panthers 20-17 on Monday Night Football to push as 3-point road favorites. QB Derek Carr had a subpar game going 21-of-36 passing for 228 yards and an interception while QB Taysom Hill carried the ball 9 times for 75 yards which allowed them to open the offense. It was RB Tony Jones Jr. who did the scoring for New Orleans, notching 2 touchdowns and 34 yards on 12 carries.

Green Bay fell 25-24 on the road against the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday but covered as 3-point underdogs. QB Jordan Love only threw for 151 yards but had 3 TDs, 2 of which to rookie WR Jayden Reed. RB AJ Dillion rushed the ball 15 times for 55 yards with a long of 8 yards as RB Aaron Jones missed the game due to a hamstring injury. The Packers took a 24-12 lead into the 4th quarter but gave up a touchdown and 2 field goals while being held off the board.

Saints at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 27, Packers 21

Moneyline

BET SAINTS (+100).

The Packers are not at full strength as they are facing numerous injuries including their top CB and RB. The Saints have found ways to inch out both their wins this season — by a combined margin of just 4 points — and will find a way to do so on the road again Sunday.

Carr needs to perform better than he did on Monday in Week 2, but with WRs Chris Olave and Michael Thomas looking better and better each week, he should be able to do just that. Expect Lambeau to be energetic in the Packers’ first home game of the season, but expect New Orleans to stay undefeated.

Against the spread

BET SAINTS +1.5 (-110).

Green Bay is beat up and even if some of the players currently on the injury report play, they will see limited reps compared to usual. The Saints’ offense has been averaging 372 yards per game so far this season while the Packers are averaging just 286. On the reverse, the Saints are allowing just 277.5 yards per game compared to the Packers 393.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 42.5 (-110).

The Packers have eclipsed 43 points in each of their games this season and will rally off the crowd’s energy in their home opener. Both teams combined allow an average of just under 700 yards per game and with injuries for both teams’ secondaries, expect points to come easier than usual.
