Tonight, Week 16 of the NFL season wraps up as the Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
The Packers come into this game off of a big win last Sunday night over the Seahawks in Seattle. Green Bay has positioned themselves into a win-and-in scenario for tonight's game. This would mark their second consecutive playoff appearance.
The Saints season is going in absolute 180 compared to the Packers. After the Saints started 2-0, they have lost 9 out of their last 12 games and will be without QB Derek Carr for the remainder of the season. Tonight, the Saints will also be without top RB Alvin Kamara, as he misses the game with a groin injury. Now eliminated from playoff contention, they look to play spoiler tonight.
