Week 1 NFL Predictions: New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers 2011 NFL Vegas Betting Odds, Free NFL Picks, and NFL Predictions oN NBC Thursday Night 9/8/11: Head football coach Sean Payton will lead the New Orleans Saints on the road to historic Lambeau Field to kick of the 2011 NFL football season against the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers with head football coach Mike McCarthy on Thursday night at 8:30 PM ET on NBC Sports. The NFL has hit a home run with this opener as last year’s Super Bowl Champions as well as MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers goes up against previous Super Bowl Champion and MVP Drew Brees and the retooled Saints. The Saints know that the Pack is set for a different situation this year with a target on their backs as Super Bowl Champions which New Orleans handled pretty well going 11-5 last season after winning the big one but lost in the first round of the playoffs as the Pack took the hard road as a wildcard but went undefeated during the playoffs with Rodgers throwing for 9 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards. Let the show begin tonight with the NFL’s pregame concert featuring Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum and Maroon 5. The odds makers at JustBET have the Green Bay Packers -4 point favorite at home against the New Orleans Saints.
The Pack finished the preseason with a 20-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and are ready to defend their Super Bowl title following an outstanding season for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers completed 312 of 475 passes for nearly 4,000 yards with 32 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions last season and hit start wide out Greg Jennings with 76 balls for over 1,200 yards. The Pack is starting out healthier and more experienced than last year so watch out Saints! Green Bay is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home. Vegas odds makers have the Green Bay Packers as +350 odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl.
The New Orleans Saints are coming off a 32-9 loss in their last preseason game which really means nothing as coach Payton has quarterback Drew Brees ready to go against the Pack. The Saints traded running back/special teams player Reggie Bush to the Miami Dolphins and drafted Heisman Trophy winner running back Mark Ingram to lead their rushing attack. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Green Bay’s last 5 games when playing New Orleans. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 35 points combined of the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers.
I like the Pack to win and cover in their home opener!
