New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints Monday night in prime-time the Green Bay Packers head south to New Orleans to take on the Saints. Odds makers are calling the Packers slight road favorites. NFL betting lines have Green Bay at -1 with the total sitting at 52.

At 5-5, both of these teams are fighting for their playoff lives. With a win the Packers can pull even with both the Bears and Viking on top of the NFC North. The Saints are three games back of the NFC South division lead and need to get on a bit of a run to get back into the wildcard race.

"There is a sense of urgency that this game is important and it's certainly important for Green Bay," New Orleans coach Sean Payton said. "I think that after this game next week there's going to be that same urgency because not only the division, but the rest of the NFC is playing pretty well."

The Saints have
alternated wins and losses in its last six contests and are looking for some consistency. New Orleans closes out the regular season with match-ups against all three division rivals among six conference games. If they can win those games and take 5of their remaining 6, they are in good position for a wildcard.

The Packers on the other hand have their sights set on an NFC North division crown. That all starts Monday.

"The Saints possess an excellent challenge for us," McCarthy said. "They have the ability to attack you a lot of different ways. I think Drew Brees and Sean Payton are a very good match as far as the way Sean attacks a defense and Drew's ability to run the wide-open offense."

The Packers are 2-3 away from Lambeau this season including losses in their last two on the road and the Saints will be playing with a sense of desperation. Take the Saints plus the 1 point at home.
