Green Bay at New Orleans

Green Bay came back from a 14-3 deficit to defeat the hapless Lions 42-21 as Aaron Jones ran for 168 yards with three touchdowns, including one receiving and Aaron Rodgers finished 18 of 30 for 240 yards and no interceptions. The Packers offense has steamrolled its first two opponents piling up 85 points against Minnesota and Detroit and now it faces a Saints squad that was embarrassed on Monday night by Derek Carr and the Raiders and playing on a short week. New Orleans went up against an injury-depleted offensive line and still Las Vegas controlled the second half and came out with a 34-24 victory. It's getting more apparent that Drew Brees has lost some arm strength although he did complete 26 of 38 for 312 yards. However, he missed several targets and was hit five times while avoiding a sack. Green Bay has covered five of their last seven dating to last year and the Saints are 4-9 ATS as home favorites. The Saints severely miss star wide receiver Michael Thomas, who is highly questionable for this game. Right now, the Packers have the clear edge with Rodgers vs. an aging Brees, and they are getting points against a rattled Saints squad. Take the Packers.
