The second week of the preseason brings us the first Monday Night Football of the season, and the time-honored tradition of bettors trying to either win back their weekend losses or add to their winnings.

The New Orleans Saints get the first crack at hosting MNF at the newly christened Caesar's Superdome, and the Saints are expected to pick up their first preseason win against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars.

For the Saints, Jameis Winston is a slight betting favorite to win the starting job over Taysom Hill. At FoxBet, Winston is a -250 choice to be the starter when the regular season starts Sept. 12 against the Green Bay Packers. Hill is listed at +170 and third-stringer Ian Book is a +6,600 long shot.

DraftKings frames the question slightly differently, but odds are similar: Winston is -185 to start Week 1, and the odds are +140 that anyone else will start at quarterback.

First is Jameis, then Taysom. and Ian Book in clean up duty.

Let the game begin!

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Trevor Simian is supposed to get his NFL Audition with the clean-up snaps...

Guess he's trying to stash Ian Book from other teams?

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

I mentioned my "players to watch tonight" in another thread but thought I'd repeat it here on the Game day chat :

QB .. consistency
RB (specifically Jones) If Freeman has another rough day, good night he's gone.
WR - guys not named Callaway. Maybe Kevin White "flashes".
CB - Mr. Mansfield (Adebo), Crawley and the udfa guy
K/Punter - Gillikin can boom em (see Ravens game) but is he consistent.

Zach Baun ... I'd love to see another sound performance tonight.

Does anyone know if Payton Turner or Werner will suit up and play ?

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Anyone going to the game tonight? I'am and I would love to meet anyone that’s gonna be there

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

I wish Lord! Long drive from Massachusetts

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Excellent question!

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Lol, I believe you Bos. Had my fair share of those kinds of drives

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

I wish I could. I'd love to use those new tickets we just scored, but it was on too short a notice to get away. We sold one, but still have one on row 1, seat 12, section 229. Excellent seat available on SeatGeek for cheap. We are going to be there on Saturday, however.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Last week we saw Hill play with the 1's (at least the one's that played at all), while Winston had the 2's to work with. They looked comparable. I looking to see what they look like this week with the opposite assignment.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

I believe that book will be the third string QB if Hill wins the QB competition. If Winston wins the competition then he jumps into the back up role. Siemien will get his shot tonight to see if he has the necessary intangibles that Payton requires from his signal caller. No matter what, I believe that Book makes the final 53....just in case another team wants him now that he's spent time in the Saints system.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Indeed. I heard Tuttle has struggled.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Nice to see the Game-Day thread start so early.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Thanks for the insights and updates JP. You are always on top of things.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Coaching matters, even at this level. Not sure how much longer we'll have the services of Nielsen on that D Line.

Owners/GM's will call him in 2022 on interviews for defensive coordinator opportunities.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

That won't get us a draft pick will it? Honestly, I'm surprised that he's still here because he has done wonders with our D-line

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Likewise we will get calls about our DC. Nielson may just get promoted here.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Looking forward to the game tonight on TV ... one quarter for each of the 4 QB's?

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

I'm fine with that. DA needs everyone to play prefect football for his system to work. Actually, he's only had a couple of good seasons since he's been here. In fact, I would lay the blame squarely on his shoulders for not bringing home another Lombardi trophy.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

We didn't see Siemian at all last week.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Payton's ready to announce the regular season starter because he already knows who it is going to be.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

DL coach and DC are different animals. But you never know. Maybe he thinks he's ready for the jump. Maybe the Saints give him a bump and another title, like assistant DC.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

More wishful thinking than likely what'll happen. Plenty of cut 4th stringers on the street very soon. But he could be a phone call away during the season.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

In the right system, I think he'd have a lot of success as DC.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Yep. It sounds as though Payton's mind is already made up.

Re: Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread
 

Wow, Kwon already set to play tonight ? ... incredible.
