Saints embrace being the favorite, Rams OL Whitworth fond of Superdome

NEW ORLEANS -- Before the opening of the 2018 season, the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook listed the Saints as 16-to-one favorites to win Super Bowl LIII.

Now, they're two wins away from banking on those odds.

Vegas gives the black and gold the edge against the Rams by three points and in the NFC Championship and while some teams like to play up the underdog role, Drew Brees and Ted Ginn say they're comfortable holding the one-seed.

"It's much harder to handle success than it is failure, right? Everybody is going to want to bounce back with their best effort after failure and yet after success or after people picking you to be one of the top teams it's easier to get complacent," Brees said.
