We scored 38 three of the last four weeks. Will 38 be enough against the Saints in their dome? This year, I think the answer is definitely yes, and I'd be surprised if the Packers don't exceed 38. Brees seems to be slipping a little bit; Their RB situation is shaky; Graham hopefully won't be himself; And their defense, pass defense in particular, has not been very good. On the Packers side, there really has been an upgrade of the D, and the offense is as good as ever. I expect a big day from Aaron Rodgers (that was really tough to predict hahaha, but I mean even bigger than usual.)

Green Bay 45 New Orleans 17 (and maybe like last week, most of that 17 in garbage time)

Mark Ingram was back in the lineup this past week. Thomas is the only one out.

Robinson was getting most of the snaps until he fumbled and was pretty much benched in favor of Ingram.

Ingram had 10 carries for 16 yds, 14 of those yds on 1 carry.

The Saints were once known for their diversity at the RB position, even with Ingram, it shouldn't be hard to make them one-dimensional, of course that 1 dimension is Breese.

I'll stick with my 41 - 23 prediction.

Unless there are injuries that effect the game or Packers overlook this game, then I'll be surprised if the Packers lose this one.

Saints haven't been their normal selves on either side of the ball... and yes they're undefeated at home but that was against the Vikings (who lose their starting QB and RB that game) and the Bucs who some how put up 31 points on the Saints but left the door open for the Saints for a come back.

And with the DB injuries it's possible the Packers might struggles there but hopefully we can left the pass rushers loose and make their running game trying to keep up with Rodgers which I think has been the Packers main strategy this year.

The Saints Let Go Of a Bunch of Players To Sign A $54 Million Free Agent, And It's Coming Back To Haunt Them 

They were able to pull this off because of two things: 1) they backloaded the money in Byrd's contract, which could be crippling down the line, but lets them stay under the salary cap this year, and 2) they traded, cut, or let a number of role players leave in free agency.

All the better a reminder that we should be grateful for the way Ted Thompson is handling FA.

Going back to the Walker trade it's always been obvious that you're better of with multiple good parts than one elite part. Next to that, Byrd isn't on a level that a guy like Reed was on. Handing a player like that, especially at the safety position, that kind of money makes little sense.

That said, the Saints as a whole are a lot better than their record suggests. If alone for their QB play.

Datone and Starks back at practice today. The good news.

Shields and Burnett still out. The bad news.

At the start of the year I had this game pegged as a loss, but now I am not so sure. I think it will be a bit of a track meet. I think the Saints O will get back on track because they are at home, but their defense still looks lost.

Packers 41-38

It probably will still be a shoot out, but the Packers D has gotten better, and Brees seems to have faded a little bit.

Packers 45 Saints 24
