NFL Odds: Will Jameis Winston Or Taysom Hill Start At Quarterback For The New OrleansĀ Saints?
- Latest odds for who will start as the Saints QB in Week 1
- Jameis Winston the slight favorite
- Saints Super Bowl odds
One of the most intriguing trainingĀ camp battles comes our way from New Orleans, as Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, and to some extent Ian Book, compete to be crowned theĀ heir to Drew Brees. Who will end up as the Saints starting quarterback come Week 1? Let's take a look at what the sportsbooks have to say with their latest odds.
Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill Odds
Many people, including sportsbooks, believe the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints in week one will be Jameis Winston. Winston is currently listed as the favorite at -150 (risk $100 to win $50), or an implied 60% chance to start week 1 of 2021 via DraftKings. Meanwhile, last season while Drew Brees was injured, Taysom Hill was the starting QB, and Winston was the backup.
Hill is currently +110 (risk $100 to win $110), or an implied 47% chance to start QB week 1 for the Saints. We are still early on in training camp, with the preseason yet to come. The Saints are in the very early stages of a QB competition that may take weeks to decipher, even for Head Coach Sean Payton.
Payton is prepared to enter the season with either QB leading the way, implying there is no edge towards either player at this point. These odds show how close of a position battle this will be this summer at Saints camp. Thus, creating betting value on Hill at plus money.

Super Bowl Odds - New Orleans Saints
Currently sitting at +4000 (risk $100 to win $4000), the Saints are a longshot but still have great value. Future Hall of Famer Drew Brees has retired, but Head Coach Sean Payton has proven he can win no matter who's theĀ quarterback. The Saints have gone 8-1 over the last two seasons in games that Brees did not start in.
With two veteran guys ready to step in and fill Brees' shoes, whether it is Hill or Winston, the Saints should continue to thrive under the direction of Sean Payton. Last season the Saints proved they can be a balanced team as they ranked in the top five in scoring offense and scoring defense.
It is difficult to know how the Saints will look in 2021 with a change at the quarterback position, but Payton can be trusted as a proven offensive guru in the NFL. New Orleans is a wild card heading into the season, as you never know what can happen to the other teams ahead of them in the NFL. They could have value with this number if they get strong QB play.
