Featured Discussion Jaguars at Saints Preseason Game Day Thread

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.

What to watch
Quarterback competitions for both teams are heating up, and the second-to-last preseason game is often the most competitive and important in these types of decisions.



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.

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

One of the things Sean is very good for is keeping his word to his players and believe this is more of him rewarding Trevor for his hard work, learning the system...

Who knows, Siemian may come out and really flash in the second half and then we could get a draft pick out of it...
