Can the Saints pull off a big upset?

The New Orleans Saints are, in short, a mess. Their cap sheet has been the subject of jokes for a half-decade now and will continue to be for at least the next two seasons as they continue to refuse to take their medicine from the late Drew Brees years. The team is decimated by injuries, most notably at quarterback where Derek Carr has missed a good chunk of the season and has already been declared out for Monday night’s matchup. Star running back Alvin Kamara injured his groin this past weekend against Washington, putting his status for this matchup in serious doubt. It’s entirely possible the Saints don’t put Carr or Kamara back on the field again this year as their season is over, sitting at just 5-9 with a <1% chance of making the playoffs per The Athletic’s playoff probability projections. There is a reason the Packers are 14-point favorites.
