With 7 of their first 11 games on the road, they can’t afford anything less. If they can start the year hot, lines may shift on the remaining games ahead of them.

They’re favored in all but two of their home games, both of which are against playoff hopefuls: the Jacksonville Jaguars (Week 7) and Detroit Lions (Week 13).
Derek Carr’s team is favored in 11 of the 17 games on their schedule in 2023.Īfter the Saints’ schedule was announced on Thursday night, DraftKings Sportsbook released spreads for every game on the 2023 slate, and expectations are high for New Orleans. The New Orleans Saints fell flat last year, but oddsmakers aren’t betting on a repeat performance after the team recruited a new starting quarterback and made a series of smart personnel moves through free agency and the NFL draft.
