Saints Looking For QB Answers
The New Orleans Saints are one of the biggest underdogs in the NFL in Week 16 according to this week’s NFL betting odds. Given their quarterback situation, that isn’t entirely surprising. But the Saints nearly won in Week 15 despite their quarterback situation, losing by one point against the Washington Commanders, as a two-point conversion attempt by the Saints was unsuccessful with no time left on the clock.
The Saints started Jake Haener against the Commanders, but switched back to Spencer Rattler, who led their late comeback attempt. With Derek Carr’s status up in the air once again for Week 16, it remains to be seen who will start at quarterback for them in this game. No matter who it is, they have an uphill climb ahead of them against one of the best teams in the NFC on both sides of the ball.
Packers Look to Continue Winning Ways
The Green Bay Packers put together one of the more impressive performances of Week 15 of the NFL season. Green Bay dominated the Seattle Seahawks early in that game and they only played better as things went on, as a knee injury for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith made things easier for the Packers. This week, the Packers will look for another win, as they are heavy favorites at home against the Saints.
Green Bay’s ability to run the football should serve them well in this contest against New Orleans. The Packers ripped off chunk plays throughout the first half against the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football, setting the tone while putting them in scoring range often. If they can do that again in this game, they will keep the ball away from whoever the quarterback is for New Orleans.
Saints vs Packers Best Bet
Without knowing who the quarterback is for the Saints in this game, it is hard to make a determination when it comes to betting this Saints vs Packers matchup. But we will take the under in this game, as the running game of the Packers should elongate their possessions, while we don’t trust any of the New Orleans quarterbacks to put up points with any sort of regularity.
