Won't be as easy as last week, as Brees will throw for two first half TDs to match Rodgers' three TDs (Cobb, Adams and the other Rodgers). D makes the difference in the second half as CMIII gets a strip on a sack and Peppers takes it to the house. Pack wins a shootout 45-38.

The Lions offense that only managed 10 against GB scored 24 against New Orleans. New Orleans has some injuries and GB is firing on all cylinders right now. Rodgers puts this one away early.

Packers 38

Saints 20

Green Bay is too hot on offense and the defense is stepping up.  Brees will present a challenge and Graham could be trouble.  I'll take the Packer defense to fare better than the Saint defense.  

 

Packers 41

Saints 31

I get the desperation comments. But New Orleans was 1-3 and desperate two weeks ago against Tampa Bay (at home) and was trailing 31-20 in the 4th until Tampa started doing Tampa things. I just don't know where NO is right now. 

 

This game smells like a 10-13 point Packer win. MM teams are 5-3 heading into the break. Saints C is dinged up. Daniels and Guion can be huge difference makers with a little middle push. Vegas has this one at even money today. I would expect a healthy turnout of Packer fans in the dome. 

 

Add it all up, 38-30 Packers. But it's going to be a fight. 

 

Win this one it's 6-2 with 5 out of the last 8 at home. 

McGinn has a good analysis at JSO. Saints secondary is in as bad a shape as Carolina's. Looks like a lot of blitzing coming, and if Rodgers handles it like he usually does, our receivers should put up big numbers again.

from espn:

The Saints have been running pretty hot at home regardless of the time of day in recent years. They've won 19 straight home games, including the playoffs, under coach Sean Payton (not counting his 2012 suspension).

 

hmmm, time to put an end to that!

This is a tough one:

 

1. Preseason favorite desperate for a win.

2. Said team at home.

3. Visiting team playing lights out.

4. Visiting team plays well in domes.

5. Visiting team not quite as desperate as home team.

 

I am putting low points in the Pack to win in my UPIKEM thing. However, I think my head says Saints in a shootout. 38-31. 

Some numbers that hard to overlook regarding the Saints defense.

 

They're allowing opposing QB's to complete 66% of their passes. 

They've only managed 9 sacks in 6 games.

They've only managed 3 INT's in 6 games. 

 

Facing a group of QB's that includes Matt Ryan, Teddy Bridewater, Mike Glennon, and Brian Hoyer. 

 

As GB watches the film this week with a bye coming up MM is going to have to work pretty hard to keep everyone focused. This game has trap written all over it.

I thought it was only the Packers defense that faced crappy QBs.

Ed is our ref of for Sunday Night's game and his luxuriant verbosity has spawned a drinking game that will surely inebriate you before halftime.

 

One more: if he flashes his guns, you have to drink while flexing yours

 

 

This is a statement game and the Packers will do just that.  The Saints will not be able to stop the Packers' passing attack, and the Packers' secondary with or without Sam will cause some problems for Brees.

 

This game to me is a pH test as to how good the Packer really are at this point in the season. 

 

Packers win by 13.

AS good as we are playing, if I had to put $ on this one Id take New Orleans in a squeaker.

 

I still think this will be a minor bump in what will be a strong finish by the pack. The Saints have to win this one and the place will be nuts.

 

The field goal will be the theme of this contest. Whoever has to settle for them more will lose.

I think Crosby knocks 3 in and wouldnt surprise me to see

a NO fg at the end push them over the top 31-30

 

IMO, this comes down to how much holding zebras allow Saints OLine.
If X4 game day thread is screaming about holds to blitzes and various Def schemes to get to Brees, then Saints win.
If zebras are transparent then Pack wins.
Final Summary: Zebras will play huge role in a Packer loss in NO.

I don't expect a cakewalk, more likely a shootout but then I saw this stat on NFLN watching the Bolts - Donkeys hi-lites:

 

The Saints 18-0 at home with Sean Payton coaching since 2011.

 

I realized it's the kind of stat that dooms a team. Like Brat Favre never loses a game when the temperature is below 32 degrees, then Bucs win when it's below 32.

 

Add in this stat: Packers lead NFL in points off of turnovers (55). I think Packers D is better than Saints D right now, Packers prevail in the Queen City but it's a close one 31-27.

Queen City is Cincinnati.

 

Crescent City or Big Easy = New Orleans

 

Records are made to be broken. However, we are all expecting the Saints best shot of the season on Sunday evening.

1:28 left in 4th, Green Bay down 38 -34.  Rodgers has the ball in their own 22 yard line.  78 yards later, Rodgers tosses a dart to Randal Cobb with 19 seconds left, Green Bay wins 41-38, move to 6-2 heading into the bye.  Lacy has a huge day, 23 carries, 147yds, 2TD

Way too much time left in this scenario.   

38-37 Packers. Should be a good game. Packers offense should be able to dominate all day. I worry about some of the matches on defense. If Packers get pressure on Brees, they should be able to pull it off.
