New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers Betting Preview
The bad news in the win on Monday Night Football for the New Orleans Saints was the loss of Jamaal Williams. It will be interesting to see how long Williams remains on the NFL Injury Report. The Saints do not get Alvin Kamara back until after Week 3.
The good news was the emergence of Tony Jones Jr., who rushed for two touchdowns in the win. Coming into Week 3, Taysom Hill is the top rusher for the Saints with 12 carries and 79 yards for his NFL Player Stats.
Derek Carr, in his first season as the quarterback, has not been overwhelming for Dennis Allen in the offense. But Carr has done the job enough to win the team two games. Carr has two great receivers, Michael Thomas and Chris Olave.
While Olave leads the team with nearly 200 yards, Thomas has been a go-to guy for Carr in the passing offense. Overall, the New Orleans Saints stats on offense will see an improvement in the passing game as the season progresses.
The Saints are in a stretch of games, with four out of five on the road. This is the second straight. Next week, they host Tampa Bay before going to the Patriots and Texans the following two weeks.
Packers’ Offensive Weapons
Looking at the NFL team stats, the first season without Aaron Rodgers for the Packers has seen some mild success on the offensive side. The Packers are scoring 31 points per game, which ranks second in the National Football League. Jordan Love has thrown six touchdowns through the first two games.
The Packers, in the Week Two loss, did not have Aaron Jones, and that was undoubtedly a big loss. Jones had 86 receiving yards in the Week 1 win over the Bears. The Packers also are using AJ Dillon early and often in the offense. He has 28 carries through the first two games.
Green Bay is playing its first home game of the 2023 season. Next week, on Thursday Night Football, the Detroit Lions will come to town. That will be the second Thursday Night Football game for the Lions this season. Green Bay Packers predictions will be tough to make, not knowing how consistent Jordan Love will be.
New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers Betting Pick
Looking at the NFL standings, this should be a good National Football League game. We are still waiting to see Derek Carr break out for the Saints. This could be an opportunity, as not sure the Green Bay Packers have been tested in the passing game.
The first two games against Justin Fields and Desmond Ridder are different from a guy who wants to pass as much as Carr. Look for the Saints to score early and stay ahead. New Orleans gets to 30+ in this game.
- When looking at the Saints vs Packers odds, betting the New Orleans Saints +105 over the Green Bay Packers is the way to go with this game on Sunday.
