The Green Bay Packers try to keep pace with the NFC's elite when they host the New Orleans Saints on "Monday Night Football." Winners of eight of their last 10 games -- only losing twice to first-place Detroit during that span -- the Packers are fourth in a deep NFC. Green Bay is the favorite by nearly two touchdowns in this contest at Lambeau Field.

Jordan Love limiting his turnovers has elevated Green Bay's offense to an elite level. After throwing interceptions in each of his first eight games this season, Love is riding a four-game streak of no picks. During that streak, the Packers have scored 30 or more points in every game, with Love's QB rating soaring over 100 each week.

Second in the league in yards per play, Green Bay is difficult to scheme against, with six different pass catchers at 38 or more targets on the season. While Love has been playing at an MVP level over the past month, running back Josh Jacobs has continued a solid season. Third in the league in rushing yards, Jacobs will try to extend a five-game rushing touchdown streak against a porous New Orleans run defense (30th in rushing yards per play).

Since interim head coach Darren Rizzi took over in New Orleans before Week 11, the Saints are 3-2 despite injury issues at key positions.

The Saints nearly pulled off a 17-point second-half comeback against Washington before a failed two-point conversion ended the rally. Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler replaced ineffective starter Jake Haener and led all four of New Orleans' scoring drives in Week 15. Rattler likely stays QB1 going forward as long as Derek Carr is sidelined.

With lead back Alvin Kamara also out due to injury, Kendre Miller could see a healthy dose of touches for the Saints.
