According to this Chris Simms podcast, the Saints will be favored in all but 3 games, a fact which Simms said he was shocked to hear. However, the over/under win total is 9.5. Obviously oddsmakers think we won’t be able to finish games, just like last year. Also of note, the host of the podcast said 77% of the Vegas money has been spent on the Falcons going OVER 8.5 wins as opposed to under.
Good! We want the money on their over total, that means it’s in Vegas’s best interest for that to stay under haha
Also being favorited in all but 3 and the over under win total at 9.5 doesn’t correlate with not finishing games. Preseason future line spreads are so irrelevant I can’t even begin to put it into words. Injuries, off the field stuff, amongst 100s of other things could change and will change those spreads multiple times. Hence why the win total and the current spreads have nothing to do with one another or where each is set.
