Message: <blockquote data-quote="PackersRS" data-source="post: 413793" data-attributes="member: 1429">I've been saying since preseason that the Saints are the 2nd best team in football. Couple of things. First, the one you mentioned, turnovers. It's HUGE. Our offense has always been very careful with the ball, yours seems to take better care of it this season, but our defense is the best I've ever seen at forcing turnovers, and the winner of the turnover battle usually ends up winning the game. And the second thing is homefield advantage. Yes, I do think that the crowd makes a difference, and I do think that the weather makes a difference in our favor (you do have a better running game, but Rodgers' arm is much better than Brees, we have the advantage in there. But it's not only the offense, our D plays better in bad weather than yours). But the real key in homefield advantage is the refs. The home team almost always ends up favored by calls. If we played at NO, you guys would be favored IMHO (not by much, I like our chances in domes). But at Lambeau, against our team, it'll be an uphill battle. Not saying it's a done deal, not even close, but we do have a better chance of winning.</blockquote>
