Pigskin Paul Peruses Packers Picks

Packers NFL draft picksSo now all the guess work is over and the NFL Draft is in the books. As I write this most Packers rookies are showing up for their first taste of an NFL OTA.

And it is obvious that unless I am going to be totally oblivious of my readers’ desires, which is not a good thing at all, I am going to have to relent of my “no Draft Grades” stance, at least relative to the PACKERS and the rest of the NFC North.

So let’s start right at the top of the list with the team that is the clear choice as “America’s Team”, to the vast majority of my readers.

Packers vs. Saints Week 1 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 1: Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 0-0 Green Bay Packers 28-24
Offensive Fireworks complement the ones during the concerts.  Packers defense makes a last minute stand as is becoming their trademark.  This would be a fun NFC title game matchup.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 0-0 Green Bay Packers 31-30
Both offenses move the ball with ease, GB D stiffens more often than NO, forcing 3 Saints field goals. That’s the difference in the game.
Adam Czech 0-0 New Orleans Saints 22-17
Defense usually rules the Thursday night opener and this year will be no exception. I don’t like how the Packers match up against an elite QB with a shiny new toy (Mark Ingram) at RB. Don’t worry, we’ll beat them in the playoffs.
Thomas Hobbes 0-0 Green Bay Packers 17-10
If training camp has been any indication its that the defense seems to be ahead of the offense, and while the Packers and Saints boast two of the most high powered offenses, they also boast two of the best defenses.  It probably comes down to who makes less mistakes.
Zach Kruse 0-0 New Orleans Saints 21-20
The Packers offensive line struggled this preseason, and Saints DC Gregg Williams will be coming after Aaron Rodgers. Both defenses rule the day, but Williams’s blitzes will get home more often then Dom Capers’. Saints TE Jimmy Graham will be a handful.
