New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

With wintery conditions expected in Wisconsin, the New Orleans Saints might well be the ones left out in the cold when they travel to face the Green Bay Packers in Monday Night Football.

Snow is expected in Green Bay on Monday but that shouldn’t affect a Packers side who should be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the playoffs this season.

Boasting a 10-4 record, the Packers take on the New Orleans Saints who are 5-9 and have been plagued by injuries in recent weeks.

With quarterback Derek Carr injured and ace running back Alvin Kamara also sidelined, a trip to a cold and snowy Lambeau Field is one of the last places the Saints would wish to be heading just before the Christmas festivities begin.

However, there are signs that the visitors can make this game closer than some might expect.

New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers betting picks and predictions

New Orleans Saints +14.0 (-110)

It has been a tough run for the Saints but, despite all their misfortune with injuries to key personnel, they have certainly not thrown in the towel just yet.

Having won games against the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns, the Saints were beaten by the LA Rams before getting back to winning ways against the New York Giants.

On several occasions, the Saints have gone down by narrow margins, as with their 20-19 defeat to the Washington Commanders last time out.

Two of their last three defeats have come by an agonising single point.

While a New Orleans win looks unlikely on Monday night, there is enough to suggest that the Saints can be backed with +14.0 start on the spread.

Saints’ quarterback coach Andrew Janocko has had Spencer Rattler and the other back-up quarterbacks running through plays in the team’s walk-in-freezer at their cafeteria in preparation for the frosty conditions that await them in Green Bay.

Going to such lengths in the build-up to this game shows that New Orleans are not going to Lambeau Field simply to make up the numbers.

Under 42.0 total points (-110)

Tthe snowy conditions will have a significant impact on this game and it’s likely to mean that both offenses will limit their passing plays to an extent.

Games that focus on the rush tend to be shorter with the clock running more, limiting the the opportunities for points.

The Saints have averaged 22.1 points per game this season and they might struggle to reach that amount on Monday.

Green Bay have the tools to win but it’s hardly likely to be a one-sided affair at Lambeau Field given the conditions, and under 42.0 total points is the preferred play.

Josh Jacobs two or more touchdowns (+187)

With the focus set to be on the running game, Josh Jacobs could well play a key role for the Packers once again.

Jacobs has already scored 12 touchdowns this season and covered 1,147 yards in the process on the ground.

Having scored a touchdown last time out in a convincing 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Jacobs is a running back in form and can add at least a couple more touchdowns to his collection on Monday night,
