MNF Locks

Ryan Grant will be looking to carry his Green Bay Packers past the New Orleans Saints when the teams meet on Monday night. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup for Cyber Monday 2008.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Packers put an end to a two-game winning streak last weekend by cruising to an easy 37-3 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears. Grant was the offensive star for Green Bay in that contest, with 145 yards on the ground and a touchdown. The Packers easily covered the 3.5-point spread in that UNDER matchup, which put them at 6-3-1 against-the-spread (5-5 SU) so far this season.

New Orleans is finally back at the Superdome this weekend after an extended road trip that included a stop in England, and they'll be looking to build on last week's 30-20 win against the Chiefs. That UNDER result put the Saints at 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS. Inconsistent New Orleans has yet to win two in a row this season.

Vegas oddsmakers and BetUs Sportsbook have the Saints pegged as 2.5-point favorites at home on Monday night, with the total listed at 51.5 points. Reggie Bush (knee) is unlikely to play for the Saints, while Marques Colston (knee) is probable to take the field.
