Green Bay vs. New Orleans

The Green Bay Packers survived the off-field drama as Aaron Rodgers threatened to retire or sit out the season. Thankfully for Green Bay fans, Rodgers will be at QB for what looks like one more run at a Super Bowl. The Packers caught another break when this game was moved to a neutral site in Jacksonville, Fla. The Saints lose what is a tremendous home-field advantage. New Orleans will have a new QB for the first time in a long time with the retirement of Drew Brees as they will go with Jameis Winston. Winston just never lived up to his billing in Tampa, as the Bucs never had a winning record with him at QB, and his career mark of 28-42 is deserving. Winston's last full season saw him throw a ridiculous 30 INT's. Green Bay has a top-five caliber team, and Rodgers, who tends to back up promises, says the fooling around is over, and Green Bay is going to rise to the occasion this season. I expect a big game by the Packers, and Winston is just not in the same league as Rodgers. Make the play on Green Bay.
