New Orleans Saints +1 (-110)

I think the Packers have played great this year. They have exceeded expectations and Jordan Love looks solid. I’m not ready to say he’s the next in line after Favre and Rodgers but I sure trust him more than some of these other QBs like Ridder, Pickett, Zack Wilson, etc. However, the Saints are a solid football team. Top to bottom New Orleans is considerably better than the Packers. The one exception might be at head coach. While the record will tell you that Matt LeFluer is much better than Dennis Allen, I need to see how this year pans out in Green Bay before we come to that conclusion. All in all, I have these teams rated fairly closely, with the Saints slightly better. Throw in the Packers home field advantage and this should be a pick ‘em game. I’m getting the point, so I’m on the Saints. If the Saints receivers keep playing how they’ve been, I don’t see how the Packers can shut all three of them down. I can see a big play by a New Orleans receiver (Thomas, Olave, Shaheed) being the difference in this one.
