The Saints and Who Dat Nation Are Back on the Road in Green Bay This Weekend

Looking back at the last time these two fan bases met, Who Dat Nation prevailed in a 38-3 victory in 2021. In the previous five meetings between the two, New Orleans has averaged 33 points a game against Green Bay. For Saints fans, a high-scoring Saints offense is great news. Although this stat doesn’t necessarily mean this developing Saints offense will score 33 points, it is reassuring knowing this number can happen. The Cheeseheads up in PackerLand™ don’t know what Who Dat Nation has in store for them.

Prediction

Since 2018, the Saints are the No. 1 scoring defense on the road. Given the average of the past games since then, I'd like to think the Saints have this one. In the last two weeks, the betting odds were always for New Orleans. This time, the odds are against the Saints. Being a New Orleans fan, I don’t want to go with the betting odds. I want my bias to take over. This Saints defense has proven themselves to be a top-tier defense in the league this season. I don’t think it will be any different during this game. Green Bay will be without their two superstar offensive linemen. Because of this, the Saints' defense will take advantage of amateur quarterback Jordan Love. They’re going to bring the pressure and cause Love to fold. Love hasn’t faced a defense like this yet, and I think it will show. Give me New Orleans again on Sunday.


Final Score: New Orleans Saints 35, Green Bay Packers 24
