Betting Preview Best Bet: Packers to Cover the Spread vs the Saints
With a point spread set at 14 by many of the best NFL online betting sites, the Green Bay Packers essentially have to win by two plus scores to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
Despite needing a large margin of victory, the perfect storm is brewing for the Packers to win big and cover the spread.
Spencer Rattler is Starting for the Saints
Nominal Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr is on injured reserve and Jake Haener played so poorly last week that he has been benched, which means Spencer Rattler will be starting under center for New Orleans.
Rattler is a big name based on his high school recruiting rankings and because he was featured on Netflix’s “QB1: Beyond the Lights” show back then, but as an NFL quarterback he has struggled to lead his team to positive results.
Rattler nearly led the Saints to a comeback victory last week while replacing Haener, but his only other starts in the NFL paint a different picture. In the three previous games that Rattler had played in, the Saints lost by an average margin of 21.67 points. They lost each of those three games by 18+ points.
Jordan Love is Getting Hot
While many may just call it heating up during the second half of the season, a recent conspiracy about Jordan Love’s late-season blooms over the past two seasons has circulated. That rumor is that Jordan Love plays better during Toyotathon.

Toyotathon began on November 15th this year, and Jordan Love’s play has led the Packers to a 4-1 record since then. Notably, they have covered the spread in four of those games as well.
Overall, the Packers are 8-4 against the spread during Toyotathon over the past two seasons.
So while it may just be a crazy conspiracy, taking the Packers to cover the spread against the Saints at legal sports betting sites tonight may be a perfect time to cash in during Toyotathon.
