ASA free play Packers -3 vs. Saints, Friday 8 PM ET - We don't expect either starting QB (Rodgers/Winston) to play in this game so it will lack explosive plays by each team. The Packers offense looked much better than the Saints in the opening game and we like that momentum to carry over to Game 2. The Packers had over 430-yards of total offense last week at 6.6 YPPL against a very good 49ers defense but turned the ball over too many times. QB Jordan Love was 13/24 for 176 passing yards with 2 TD’s but also threw 3 INT’s, 2 of which were basically on his WR’s. The running game was solid with RB Tyler Goodson who ran for 37 yards on 12 carries. The Packer defense is going to be improved this season and has a tremendous week of practice against the Saints this week in Green Bay. Last week, Green Bay’s defense held the Niners to just 328 total yards (6.07 YPPL). The Saints QB’s Ian Book and Andy Dalton didn't show much in their preseason opener with 140 yards passing against a bad Texans defense in the opener. The Saints running game struggled with 3.5-Yards per Carry or 130YDS on 37 touches. Overall the Saints offense mustered just 270 total yards against a Texans defense that was 23rd in Defensive efficiency a year ago. The Saints defense played well allowing just 275 total yards or 5.18YPPL last week but that came against a Texans offense that isn't very good. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is on an 0-4 SU preseason run but should snap that streak with a win here. This is the Packers only home game and they are off a loss in San Francisco so expect a little extra motivation here.
