Cold and windy Lambeau Field will be the home of Monday Night Football between the depleted New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers. The Saints will be led by rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is walking into one of the most hostile environments in football.

Saints vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Marquez Valdes-Scantling (+475)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
Let’s get right into our longshot TD scorer pick of the night — Marquez Valdes-Scantling to score a touchdown at +475 odds. He’s failed to practice all week due to a chest injury and added an illness tag towards the end of the week. Not encouraging signs, but we’ll take our chances at this ridiculous price.
The Saints are 2-touchdown dogs in Lambeau Field led by a rookie quarterback. But Rattler led a ferocious comeback last week versus the Commanders which included 2 touchdown drives in the 2nd half when he came in for Jake Haener. He even nearly won the game for the Saints, but a failed 2-point conversion was the difference. That said, we’re getting great prices across the board for Saints skill players. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has reeled in 8 20-yard receptions over the last 5 weeks, including a 39-yard catch passed by Rattler on the first drive of the 2nd half. In what projects to be a negative game script, I’d expect Rattler to take multiple shots towards Marquez Valdes-Scantling in this one if the WR is able to suit up.

Saints vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Christian Watson (+200)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We’re targeting another deep-ball threat on Monday Night Football in wide receiver Christian Watson at +200 odds. It’s been over 2 months since Watson last found the end zone, but the Saints’ bottom 5 DADOT has Watson as an intriguing target. He’s caught 9 20+ yard receptions over the last 5 weeks and leads the Packers in air yards this season while being just behind Bo Melton in aDOT. The Packers are projected to dominate this game and I expect Watson to contribute.
