This is a great game by name brand, Packers vs. Saints, but in these sim games, I’m having a hard time getting a read on the Packers. Green Bay’s gone on nice runs here and there, but we’ve seen Green Bay get beat down quite a bit as of late. New Orleans has been consistent throughout the course of these sim games and the Saints are still one of the better teams in the game as well. I’ll lay the point with New Orleans in this one.
