Whoever in the scheduling department came up with this game as the opener is brilliant. The Saints and the Packers -- the past two Super Bowl Champions. Two offensively jacked teams, but yet with defenses to be feared. Perfection on Thursday. However I believe the Packers will win - here's why.
The Super Bowl winners almost always win the opener. I think it's because of the emotion and the adrenaline rush. Also Green Bay has a stronger defense than New Orleans, especially in the secondary. They are capable of controlling Brees. The wild card for both teams is the running game. But because it's a question mark for both teams it won't make a difference. I say this because both have the same chance of suddenly showing up -- slim. If one will break out, it'll be New Orleans. Not a chance against Dom Capers' defense. Regardless I think it will be a close game. Perhaps a Mason Crosby field goal to win it? Just a thought.
Final score - NO 28 GB 31
- Claire
