VIEWS OF THE GAME

TOM SILVERSTEIN

The Saints have all nine of their takeaways this season during their three-game winning streak. If Brett Hundley can avoid turning the ball over, the Packers might be able to keep it close. But that’s a lot to ask for a guy making his first start, and if the Packers fall behind early, the likelihood of Hundley pressing will increase. Saints 27, Packers 23

PETE DOUGHERTY

Brett Hundley has had all the practice reps this week and a game plan built around his skill set, and he won’t be facing the Vikings’ defense, so he has a lot more in his favor than when he replaced Aaron Rodgers last week. But Drew Brees at age 38 still can get it done, so the guess here is he puts up enough points to prevail. Saints 30, Packers 23

Expecting Brett Hundley to outduel Drew Brees is a tall task. Even if Hundley plays well, count on his veteran counterpart to handle pressure situations with a bit more poise. Saints 31, Packers 20

RYAN WOOD

There’s a decent chance Sunday’s game will morph into a shootout, and usually a highscoring game inside Lambeau Field automatically goes to the Packers. But Aaron Rodgers won’t be in the stadium as he recovers from surgery to repair his fractured right collarbone. Instead, the Hall of Fame quarterback will be standing on the opposite sideline. If Sunday develops into a back-and-forth game, the Packers will see what their opponents endure most weeks. Expect Drew Brees to find a way to make the winning play at the end. Saints 35, Packers 27

AARON NAGLER

The Packers most likely will lean on their running game in the hopes of limiting possessions for Saints quarterback Drew Brees and their offense, and for good reason. Saints head coach Sean Payton and Brees have owned Packers defensive coordinator Don Capers. Don’t look for that to change. Brett Hundley will be in the spotlight, but the story of this game will be the inability of the Packers’ defense to slow down Brees and the Saints. Saints 37, Packers 24
