Monday Night Football
New Orleans @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Saints 14, Packers 28.5
Although I’m tempted to pick the Saints so Silva’s cheesehead friends annoy him with screenshots all night, the truth is Spencer Rattler is ice skating uphill at Lambeau Field in mid-December with Derek Carr (broken left hand) done for the year. Green Bay has created pressure at the seventh-highest rate (32.7%) out of their bye, and Rattler has completed just 43.8% (36th) of his passes for zero touchdowns and three turnovers under duress. … Kendre Miller instills as much confidence as the starting RB for a 14-point road dog possibly can in place of Alvin Kamara (groin), most recently out-touching Jamaal Williams 10 to 0 and, in two games off injured reserve, running 23 routes to Williams’ six. Zach Charbonnet’s 24-yard TD run against the Packers lends hope for Kendre to explode for one as an every-touch RB2, especially if stud LB Quay Walker (ankle) is scratched. Our own Pat Thorman ranked Miller (RB21) ahead of Jerome Ford (RB22) and Patrick Taylor Jr. (RB32) — other available waiver options.
