Packers vs. Saints 2014 picks and predictions: Green Bay expected to continue roll
Aaron Rodgers is having an all-time beginning to his season, so can the Saints slow him down in the dome?
Joe Robbins
Expected by many to win the division, New Orleans has been a mess. The Saints have struggled to stop opposing offenses, exhibited in their 24-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Detroit trailed 23-10 in the last five minutes before storming back with 14 unanswered points. The secondary has gotten torched to the tune of 270.5 yards per game, 28th in the league.
Packers vs. Saints
Green Bay seems like a bad matchup for New Orleans, coming to town with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. Rodgers has been playing brilliant football during the Packers' four-game winning streak, throwing 13 touchdowns without an interception. For the season, Rodgers has a TD-INT ratio of 18-1, the best start for a quarterback in NFL history.
Over at USA Today, the analysts are split on who comes out victorious. The Saints have won 13 consecutive primetime games at home by an average of 20 points, giving their backers reason to believe. The folks at ESPN are not impressed, with 11 of the 13 experts siding with Green Bay. Of the eight analysts at CBS Sports, only John Breech and Dave Richard think Brees will lead his team to victory.
Here at SB Nation, four of our seven guys like Rodgers to keep his game going strong against a bad New Orleans defense. For those Saints fans looking for love, David Fucillo believes in you, and he has the best record of our experts.
