Future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees starts his 19th NFL season on Monday Night Football when his New Orleans Saints take on the Houston Texans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The 40-year-old Brees is the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards (74,437) and completions (6,586). He also needs just 19 passing touchdowns to tie Peyton Manning's record of 539. In the first game of a Monday Night Football doubleheader, he'll face a Texans team that went through a makeover on the last day of August, when it traded away former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney and acquired top left tackle Laremy Tunsil and receiver Kenny Stills. Kickoff is set for 7:10 p.m. ET.
New Orleans is a 6.5-point favorite in the latest Saints vs. Texans odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 52.5, down 1.5 from the opener. Before you make any Texans vs. Saints picks and NFL predictions for Monday Night Football, you need to see who SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein is picking.
