We hadn't beaten Detroit in 3 years either, the time is now.

After all my years of watching the Saints there are 2 definite historical trends:

1) If the starting QB of the opposing team goes down in game or if an unknown QB comes in as the starter we will make him look like the second coming of Dan Marino.

2) If our defense backs the opposing team up into their end zone and they have a 3rd and 20+ to go for a first, they will ~ 90% of the time gain 30+ yards.

Saints(3-2) at Packers(4-2)

If you put Aaron Rodgers in this game, you get a narrow Green Bay victory, but he’s not playing in this game and that makes all the difference in the world. The Saints haven't left Lambeau Field with a win since 2006, but the last two games at Green Bay (‘11 & ‘12) both came down to the final play. The Saints can play in Green Bay, and play well, especially without having to face the Packers’ greatest weapon.

Now, Green Bay quarterback Brett Hundley did throw for 236 yards and 4 touchdowns against the Saints in the 2015 preseason finale, but that was a throwaway preseason game against a defense so bad we need no reminder of it. The Saints have shown a tendency to let backups have huge games against them in the past under Sean Payton, but don't expect to see that here. The Saints have been gifted a huge advantage here, they get Green Bay without their superstar and before the bitter winter cold sets in. They’ll make the most of it and leave Lambeau Field with a huge victory in hand. Saints win 31-21.

Pick: Saints

:bng:

I sure hope so. How great will Monday feel if this comes to fruition??!!

If the talking heads start saying good things about the Saints, and the Packers start the woe, is me crap - then just remember one thing...

Will be tough game. With Rogers out, the other players will all give it 110%. If we win it will be a huge statement at least to me.
