Heading into Week 6, the Packers were +500 second favourites on the Super Bowl futures market, but they’ve fallen all the way to +2000 now that Rodgers is expected to go under the knife. Hundley was Green Bay’s fifth-round pick in 2015, and a quality dual-threat quarterback at UCLA. He tossed three interceptions in relief of Rodgers during last week’s 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings (+3.5 at home).
The Saints, meanwhile, are above .500 for the first time since 2013 after winning three straight games straight up and against the spread. Their defense leaves much to be desired, but most of their issues have been against the run; New Orleans had a pair of pick-sixes in last week’s 52-38 win over the Detroit Lions to cash in as 5-point home favourites.
NFL Odds: Hundley Replaces Rodgers for Saints-Packers Game
With QB Aaron Rodgers (broken collarbone) expected to miss the rest of the 2017 campaign, Brett Hundley will be pressed into service this Sunday when the Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints, beginning at 1 PM ET on FOX. Green Bay is a 6-point puppy at press time.
The Packers took Hundley in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft after three years of quality football with the UCLA Bruins. However, Hundley struggled last week in relief of Rodgers, giving up three interceptions in a 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings (+3.5 at home).
