Free NFL Pick: New Orleans Saints -10 (Bob Wingerter)
The Falcons came up just short a month ago when they were healthy and a little more evenly matched in the standings than now. At this point, with New Orleans chasing history and Atlanta examining health-care options, it seems unlikely that the road to perfection will encounter more than a bump or two in Georgia. The wrong time for a banged-up team to encounter what might be the league’s best. Jonathan Babineaux is Atlanta’s top defensive linemen this season. He receives the most snaps of the players in the seven-man defensive line rotation. He has 41 tackles, tops on the team among defensive lineman, and has five quarterback sacks, which is tied for the team lead with Kroy Biermann. He leads the team with eight tackles for loss. Babineaux got arrested on Friday morning for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and was admitted to the Gwinnett County jail at 1:01 am. Although he is expected to play, this is one of the last things that a banged-up, fading team clinging desperately to a playoff hope needs to have happen to it. The NFL’s best offense is coming into their building and the Saints will not give a hoot about Atlanta’s problems, which go beyond Babineaux and extend into the offense, where the starting QB and go-to running back are both doubtful again. Back-up TE Peele is out, for the first time after getting hurt vs. Philly. TAKE NEW ORLEANS MINUS HERE.

Free NFL Pick: Green Bay Packers -3 (Carlo Campanella)
After being upset 38-28 by Tampa Bay back on November 8, the Green Bay Packers (8-4) called a “players only” meeting to discuss their season. Since that meeting, Green Bay has not lost a game, posting a 4-0 SU & 3-0-1 ATS record, including an easy 27-14 victory hosting Baltimore on Monday Night Football in their last game. They head to Chicago (5-7) this Sunday knowing they’re 19-9 ATS on the road and 9-2 ATS on the road against Division foes. Chicago’s lack of offense combined with several key defensive injuries has caused them to lose 6 of their last 8 games outright along with a money burning 1-7 ATS record. With the Packer’s needing another victory in order to stay in the Playoff picture, we’ll lay the points with this road Favorite as we find Green Bay at 9-2 ATS on the road following a home win behind Head Coach McCarthy.
