New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers Preview:
The 5-9 New Orleans Saints travel to Green Bay to take on the 10-4 Packers on Monday night. After a 2-19 loss on a failed potential game-winning two-point conversion, the Saints are now 3-2 under interim head coach Darren Rizzi. The Saints exceeded expectations in that game. They were able to keep potential OROY Jayden Daniels relatively quiet and the halftime switch from Jake Haener to Spencer Rattler almost paid dividends.
It was announced that Spencer Rattler will start under center for the Saints. Desperate to pick up a win, the Saints could possibly be out of playoff contention before the start of their game. If the Atlanta Falcons or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win, they will be eliminated from playoff contention.
The Green Bay Packers are coming off an impressive performance against the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers won that contest 30-13, improving to 10-4 on the season and 5-4 against the NFC. That win marked the fourth straight win following a loss this season.
Jordan Love and the Packers are on the brink of clinching a playoff berth. With a win over the Saints, the Packers are in.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) recommends betting on Kendre Miller over 51.5 rushing yards…
Thomas: “Anytime you bet on a backup running back on the team who is a double-digit underdog on the road, you will raise a few eyebrows. With Alvin Kamara sidelined, the Saints turn to second-year back Miller. The Saints are depleted at wide receiver and haven’t shown much faith in either backup quarterback’s arm.
In an effort to see what they have in Miller and nothing to lose, giving him the rock seems like the smartest thing to do offensively. Yes, Miller will face stacked boxes for much of the night. However, given the vertical threat and the available wide receivers pose, we may see that change occasionally throughout the game.
The Packers boast a solid run defense only giving up 105 rushing yards per game, but I expect an early dose of running with Miller in this game.”
