Packers Aim to Secure Playoff Spot Against Undermanned Saints on Monday Night
Green Bay can clinch a postseason berth with a win or favorable results from Sunday games, while New Orleans faces key injuries, including to Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara.
- The Packers, at 10-4, are heavy favorites over the 5-9 Saints in their Monday night matchup at Lambeau Field.
- Green Bay can guarantee a playoff spot before their game if Atlanta, Seattle, or the Rams lose or tie on Sunday; otherwise, a win against New Orleans will suffice.
- The Saints will likely start rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler with Derek Carr sidelined due to a fractured hand, and running back Alvin Kamara is doubtful with a groin injury.
- Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, a standout rookie, leads a defense that recently recorded seven sacks against Seattle and has been strong in recent weeks.
- Green Bay has won eight of its last ten games, scoring 30 or more points in four consecutive outings, while New Orleans struggles with a 30th-ranked defense.
