The New Orleans Saints may be heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers as slight favorites according to oddsmakers, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way. The Saints lost to the Las Vegas Raiders on a national stage in Week 2 in an anemic performance, and now they’re going up against one of the early season’s hottest teams in another primetime showdown.
Running the ball has, surprisingly, been an issue for the Saints early on. They’re 26th in the league in rushing at this way-too-early juncture, and after a hot start for Alvin Kamara in Week 2 they appeared to move away from him later in the game.
