We’re in for the third matchup in four years between the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers, but which team holds the lead in the all-time series history? These teams have kicked off against one another 27 times, and the Packers have won 17 of those games.
But the Saints have made up some ground in recent years. They’ve won three of the last four matchups with Green Bay in 2014, 2017, and 2021 by staggering totals of 44-23, 26-17, and 38-3 each time. The Packers played it close on an uncharacteristically poor day for the Saints defense in 2020, winning 37-30 in front of a scant crowd at the Caesars Superdome during the COVID-19 pandemic, but for the most part the Saints have been in control of these games.

Their defense has also been vulnerable to a committed rushing attack, and they just choked a double-digit fourth quarter lead to the Atlanta Falcons of all teams. So maybe the Saints can pull off an upset on the road and improve to 3-0.
