Not surprisingly, the Packers are rather heavy favorites due to their solid 10-4 record and their home performance. In contrast, the Saints are considered underdogs, however they have an impressive history of covering the spread when playing against Green Bay, which could attract some bettors.
Spencer Rattler QB vs. Jordan Love QB
Taking over for the Saints mid-season, Spencer Rattler has shown potential, but his inconsistency is a cause for concern, as evidenced by his completion rate of 57.5 percent and a passer rating 73. He had 706 yards passing over four games, with two TDs and two interceptions, which points towards his stage of development in his professional career. The Saints could potentially pull an upset if Rattler’s game management skills against the tight Packers’ defense come through.
More remarkably, Jordan Love of the Packers’s performance this season has been exceptional. He has completed 2953 yards and passed 23 touchdowns and had 11 interceptions which resulted in a passer rating of 98.5. In addition, his improved decision-making and ability to distribute the ball have been instrumental to the Green Bay offense. With all of that Love brings experience and presence which makes him a tough matchup against anybody especially at home.
Saints Ground and Air Assault: Pivotal Plays in the Making
For the Saints, Alvin Kamara and Juwan Johnson have been making the best out of an otherwise disappointing season. If one were to look solely at Kamara’s individual stats for the season of 950 rushing yards with 6 touchdowns added on top, and 375 passing yards thrown to Johnson, his performance really is impressive. However, coming off defeats against Washington and a tight win against Giants, the importance of exploiting the holes in Green Bay defense makes this part very vital.
Packers Offensive Firepower: Consistency Wins Games
Josh Jacobs’s 1,147 rushing yards and Jayden Reed’s 727 receiving yards have handsomely aided Green Bay. Their contributions in some of the recent victories, in particular the blowout over Seattle, speak to their worth. The last game against Detroit was a loss, yet the two managed to perform decently and make explosive plays, which should help them outrun the Saints’ defence.
