I've got a LOT of work to do before the season kicks off - help! Schedules to check, stats to collate, stats to analyse, where did the summer go?
Anyway, I can't not have a bet on the season-opener. Find it a hard game to call - Packers perhaps the better team, home advantage, the champs winning this game every time since 2003, but the Saints having worked out during the lockout while the Packers polished their rings.
So, with a feeling that the Packers defense can do okay against the Saints offense and a suspicion there may be some rust for Rodgers and co., I'll take the under. Just a small bet.
