Green Bay Packers (2-0) at New Orleans Saints (1-0)

Sunday, September 27, 8:20PM ET

This may very well be the best matchup of Week 3. In this battle, we’ll see two teams take the field that could easily be playing in February. Unfortunately, it’s my duty to pick a winner, which wasn’t exactly an easy decision considering both of these team’s overwhelming talent.

In the end, though, I had to go with the New Orleans Saints to take the win. Not only do I have a hard time picking against Drew Brees, but the Packers have already dug themselves into holes this season. While they were able to come back against the Lions in Week 2, the Saints simply aren’t going to wait around for them to make it a game.

Aaron Rodgers will do some damage and keep New Orleans from getting comfortable, but I believe Brees wins this duel. The Saints get the best of the Packers’ suspect secondary, racking up big yards despite the absence of Michael Thomas.

Even if you don’t agree with my pick, I’m sure you can agree this will be a game worth watching.

Prediction: Saints win 31-27
