Vegas Watch: Lions open as 4-point underdogs vs Saints in Week 4

Examining the open betting odds for the Detroit Lions (1-2) versus the New Orleans Saints (1-2) game in Week 4.

The Detroit Lions (1-2) are hosting the New Orleans Saints (1-2) in Week 4, and despite the teams having the same record and the game being at Ford Field, the Lions will open the week as 4-point underdogs, according to BetMGM.

The opening number shouldn’t be overly surprising, as the Lions looked terrible through the first two weeks of the season, but they are coming off an important road victory over the previously-undefeated Arizona Cardinals, while the Saints have dropped two in a row and have not looked like the team most expected entering the season.
