The San Francisco 49ers (4-5) visit the New Orleans Saints (6-2) in Week 10. Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The undermanned 49ers lost 34-17 at home to the Green Bay Packers in the Week 9 Thursday Night Football game as 6-point underdogs. With numerous injuries and WR Kendrick Bourne‘s positive COVID-19 test, which also sidelined three other 49ers for high-risk contacts, San Francisco was no match for Green Bay.
Among the injured who sat were QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), All-Pro TE George Kittle (foot), RB Raheem Mostert (ankle), WRs Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (COVID contact), DE Nick Bosa (knee) and CB Richard Sherman (calf).
QB Nick Mullens started in place of Garoppolo, throwing for 291 yards with a touchdown and one pick. Bourne has since tested negative and there’s hope several of the players out due to contact tracing will be back for Week 10.
The Saints went into Tampa, Fla., and manhandled the Buccaneers 38-3 in the Week 9 Sunday Night Football game as 3.5-point underdogs. QB Drew Brees threw for 222 yards and 4 touchdowns as New Orleans won a fifth consecutive game, took over first place in the NFC South and completed a season sweep of rival Tampa Bay.
Brees’ first 3 TDs, RB Alvin Kamara‘s 1-yard TD run and a Wil Lutz FG helped the Saints build a 31-0 lead by halftime. The Saints defense held the Bucs to just 8 rushing yards (on 5 carries) and didn’t allow them to score until there was 5:52 to go. It was also the first Under game the Saints played in 2020 – they entered with a 7-0 Over/Under record.
