*** GREEN BAY -7.5 vs NEW ORLEANS
Where do I begin with naming the problems that the Saints have right now? Well, first, Drew Brees is completing 54 % of his passes, with no protection and throwing very bad passes here and there. They aren't giving the ball to their most productive player (Pierre Thomas), Marques Colston is not 100 % because of a nagging foot injury, and they can't stop a nose bleed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Spagnuola's defense takes at least 4 weeks to understand. With the personnel, or lack of, that they have in their secondary, good luck fixing it. These players play well in Greg Williams' defensive scheme and can't do shit in any other, and you're seeing it. Green Bay has averaged 19 PAG in their first three, due to the tough defenses they had to play. They are itching to get it going and this week I think they will, and considering what happened to them Monday, they will be taking it out on the Saints. New Orleans hasn't stopped anyone and being generous, Washington's offense is pretty good, Carolina's is decent and KC's is below average. You want to get your running game going this week GB? Give the ball to Benson at least 20 times and he will get you at least a buck fifty, and I trust that Mike McCarthy will.
PREDICTED SCORE : PACKERS 49 SAINTS 24
