NFL Week 1 odds: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Arizona Cardinals

ScottF · 09-07-2015, 07:00 PM

At the start of pre-season I checked the week 1 lines, and this one was a 2.5 back then. Surprised oddsmakers didn't view our preseason and injury situation in a poorer light.
In bettor's parlance, this is a sucker bet

Or maybe its just that we just havent looked that good. I want to see them prove it on the field.

The Saints secondary makes Carson Palmer look like Peyton Manning in his 30's. He won't see this little pressure all season.

Michael Floyd is still recovering from breaking 3 fingers and Larry Fitzgerald isn't an elite receiver anymore. I think our secondary can handle them just fine. Carson Palmer is awful so I won't for a second worry about him.

Carson Palmer with time in the pocket can throw darts. Add John Brown at WR and he is a potential deep threat.

PRESSURE will be key. Palmer is no spring chicken w/ bad knees so disrupting his timing will be paramount on Sunday.

Good thing they'll have a rookie starting at right tackle.

I cant believe the defense held fairly well, considering, and the OFFENSE sucked.
