New Orleans Saints (-2) over Green Bay Packers

This is an incredibly weird line.

First, the Saints are 2-4 and they are giving points to a Packers team with a 5-2 record.

Second, New Orleans opened as a 1.5-point favorite and that has since shifted to a 2.5-point number despite the fact that a higher percentage of wagers supports the Packers.

In short? The sharp money is on the Saints, and I trust the sharp money.

Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense are simply different in their own building, and quite frankly, the Saints desperately need a victory in this spot. Green Bay is better, but sometimes the stars align, and this qualifies for that provision.
