The Green Bay Packers are coming off a 13-30 victory against the Seattle Seahawks, putting them just one step away from the next stage.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints went all-in but came up short in their 19-20 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Why bet on the Green Bay Packers?
The Green Bay Packers are having an outstanding season. With an impressive 10-4 record, they would be leading four of the eight NFL divisions, but in the NFC North, they sit third behind the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, both with 12-2 records.
They are sixth in the conference, and a win this Monday would secure their place in the next phase. Even so, it would take a miracle for them not to make it even if they lose all three games.
The Packers are coming off a 13-30 victory over the Seahawks in Seattle, with a strong performance by Jordan Love, who completed 20 of 27 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns, both caught by Romeo Doubs.
Josh Jacobs also deserves recognition for his performance, as he scored a rushing touchdown, bringing his season total to 12. He managed just four touchdowns in the first nine games but has added nine more in the last five, scoring in each of those games.
On the defensive side, Xavier McKinney leads the NFL in interceptions (7), althoughhe’s now gone three games without one, marking his longest drought of the season.
Why bet on the New Orleans Saints?
The New Orleans Saints (5-9) need a miracle to advance to the postseason, as winning all their remaining games won’t be enough—they’ll also need other teams to lose. That said, the team has shown some improvement since Darren Rizzi took over as interim head coach.
Dennis Allen’s tenure this season was disastrous, with just two wins and seven losses. Since Rizzi assumed the role, the team has won three games and lost two, the most recent being last weekend’s 19-20 defeat against the Washington Commanders. This loss came after the Saints gambled on a two-point conversion attempt in the final play instead of kicking the extra point, which would have sent the game into overtime.
One of the team’sbiggest challenges has been at quarterback. Derek Carr has not provided the needed stability and is now injured. It’s unclear who will take his place, especially since Taysom Hill is also injured. The options are Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler, who started against the Commanders and completed 10 of 21 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown.
