00:00Monday Night Football, the finale of week number 16 between

00:06the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints. Again,

00:09maybe on paper from the odds perspective, what we expect,

00:13it's not going to be the greatest game we have ever

00:17seen. It is a fourteen and a half point spread in favor of

00:20Green Bay. Total forty-two and a half but that does not mean

00:25DRS that we can't find some winning wagers on this Monday

00:29as we enter Christmas week to add up the bankroll for those

00:33last-minute stocking stuffers. So, let's talk about the

00:36stakes just so we all know, New Orleans out of playoff

00:40consideration already eliminated. The Green Bay

00:43Packers need this win tonight. Obviously, heavily expected to

00:47do so and they will clinch a playoff berth and win number

00:51eleven this season. DRS, let's let's just start with the

00:55spread in the total. Is there any chance in your estimation

00:59not that New Orleans could cover. They could lose by two

01:01touchdowns and technically cover via the hook. Is there a

01:05chance this game is decided by a single score? Yes. Yeah cuz

01:10II do think you're looking at colder temperatures and as long

01:13as you just play a decent football game for the Saints

01:15and we're not saying, hey, their last five games, they've

01:18gotten beat by an average of twenty-one points. They're

01:20gonna get killed tonight. Take a look at least from the

01:21Falcons game. Twenty to seventeen win. Browns thirty

01:24to thirty-five to fourteen win. The Rams who are playoff

01:27contender probably gonna win their division. You

01:29lose that game. Twenty-one to fourteen. You beat the Giants

01:31on the road. Fourteen eleven a low scoring game and then you'll

01:34come all the way back and almost beat the Commanders in

01:36the last play of the game who are also a playoff contender.

01:38So, the opportunities for the Packers should be there

01:41tonight with a chance to blow them out but what the Saints

01:43are doing at the end of the season is they haven't given

01:46up because the worst thing you can do to yourself and say,

01:48well, there's still professionals. It's fourteen

01:50and a half and you find yourself at twenty-one to

01:52nothing at the end of the first quarter cuz the Saints look

01:54like they're so disinterested. They don't wanna be there but

01:57you haven't got that from the New Orleans Saints over the

01:59past couple weeks when they've always been out of it.
