A couple of 5-5 teams will both be looking to move above the .500 mark \u2013 and pay off for those doing any NFL betting \u2013 on Monday night when Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers play a game on the road at the Superdome versus the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And not only do the Packers and Saints have the same straight-up record this season, but they also have six victories against-the-spread (Green Bay is 6-3-1 ATS, New Orleans is 6-4). As well, the OVER\/UNDER for both teams is at 6-4 through 10 games.<\/p>\n
However, the similarities end with the standings. While the Packers are right in the race for top spot in a middling NFC North division, the Saints are mired in the basement of an NFC South division that has even seen the troubled Atlanta Falcons make a comeback this season. That puts New Orleans in a difficult position to make the playoffs this year.<\/p>\n
Still, the Saints did manage to pick up a win last week, albeit against the Kansas City Chiefs. Drew Brees went 25-of-36 for 266 yards passing in that 30-20 road victory, with one touchdown strike and one interception. Deuce McAllister and Pierre Thomas each rushed for a score, while Reggie Bush sat out the game with a knee injury. Bush did get in some practice time this week, but he\u2019s still pegged as QUESTIONABLE for Monday.<\/p>\n
The Packers are coming off a win as well, as they embarrassed the Chicago Bears 37-3 last weekend. Aaron Rodgers went 23-of-30 for 227 yards passing in the win at Lambeau Field, with two touchdown throws and one pick. Ryan Grant ran for 145 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, while Greg Jennings and Donald Lee had TD catches.<\/p>\n
