New Orleans Saints
Jameis Winston won’t be playing in this game. He has participated in joint practices this week against the Packers after missing week 1 of the preseason with a foot injury. We will see some Andy Dalton and a lot of Ian Book if the Saints follow the same playbook they used against the Texans a week ago. Dalton was 5/5 with 51 yards and a TD; while Ian Book was 15/22 with 121 yards and 1 pick in that game.
The players to watch will be Chris Olave (if he plays) and Trevor Penning, the Saints 2nd round offensive lineman. Chris Olave had a good showing at the two joint practices vs the Packers and Trevor Penning has been kicked out of practice for starting fights previous to the joint practices. Keep an eye on these rookies in this matchup.
Green Bay Packers
We should see a heavy dose of Jordan Love in this game after looking improved from last year in the game against the Niners. Jordan Love was 13/24 with 176 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 picks. The picks number looks bad, but 2 of those were obvious drops by Packer receivers that turned into interceptions. After Love comes out, we will see Danny Etling for the Packers.
The story for the Packers camp has been the emergence of 4th round wideout, Romeo Doubs. He has made “wow” plays almost everyday at camp and has been a consistent target for Aaron Rodgers and also Jordan Love. In the first preseason game, he had 3 catches for 45 yards and touchdown on 7 targets from Love. He scored on a 33 yard dime from Love, but also had a bad drop that turned into a interception for the Niners.

Let’s be honest, it’s preseason and it’s very hard to pick a side on. With that being said, I’m going to just lean in and take the over in this matchup. In week 1, the overs were 14-3; ‘ll just try to see if this trend will continue. If you want to target any player props, I’d look for a Romeo Doubs over on yards and sprinkle on him to score as well. Jordan Love seemed to target him a ton and I don’t see that changing with the separation he was able to get.
