42-28 Packers. I've got to see more from our defense to believe they can stop anyone.

I have seen no reason to have any faith in our defense, but our offense is going to be awsome. But I have to give an honest answer based on what I've seen this preseason.

41-35 Packers.

I hope Strato is right and our defense decides to show up and prove me wrong. I hope I don't win the $20.

Wow, missed it by one point on each team.

42-34 Packers.

37 - 24 Packers.

-Sadly, I don't think the game will be as close as the score.
-The Packers offense has looked great during the preseason. Finley and Nelson are coverage nightmares.
-The Packers defense is the best the Saints will play all season.
-The Saints offense looked great against the Raiders. But, with two new starters on the O-Line, a new TE, a rookie RB, and limited reps for Colston and Moore during the preseason, I just don't think they will gell as easily as they need to against the Packers, in Green Bay, on opening night.
-The Saints defense has issues at LDE, both OLB spots, and too few reps as a unit with Jenkins, Harper, and Porter missing most of preseason.
-Any way you slice it, the Saints have kicking issues. Kasey is a proven vet but he was on the street for a reason. At the very least he showed rust which isn't good especially with a new holder. Kicking is largely about confidence.

The good news is, lol, the Saints are absolutely capable of winning the game. If they commit to the run, and don't turn the ball over, limiting the Packers touches, and are able to dial up some pressure on Rodgers, they have a shot. But, it will take an almost perfect game. WHO DAT!

I have developed a new computer program...

I would be willing to bet any member reading this post $100 that I can tell you the score of that game before it even starts. My program has been 100% so far.

Too bad Vegas wouldn't allow that bet.

Payton and Brees will have the Offense ready; Williams and Vilma will have the Defense ready.

Saints 35
Packers 31
