Coming off one of the most controversial losses in NFL history, the Green Bay Packers will look for a vital home win against a floundering New Orleans Saints team on Sunday.

While it's wasted breath to harp on the Golden Tate Hail Mary catch (or as it's known to fans of the remaining 31 franchises, "the thing that brought the refs back"), there are real playoff implications that could hurt the Packers going forward. Now at 1-2, they absolutely cannot afford another loss against an NFC team.

On the other side of the field, the Saints are 0-3 and have no one but themselves to blame after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 last week. New Orleans held an 11-point lead going into the fourth quarter and failed to make anything happen offensively or defensively as the Chiefs came from behind to stun the Saints.

With the bitter taste of avoidable Week 3 losses in their mouths, both teams will come out this week desperate to get back in the win column.

Considering how badly both of these teams need a win on Sunday, I cannot see a scenario in which the Packers cover this spread.

While the Saints have a myriad of problems and seem listless without Sean Payton, Drew Brees is still enough of a leader to get his guys motivated against the Packers.

The expectations have been lowered mightily for both teams, but there is too much talent here for either side to go down without a fight.

Look for a high-scoring close game that comes down to the final drive.

With the loser of this contest likely eliminated from the playoffs at the quarter-season mark, both teams will come out at their absolute optimum potential on Sunday.

Brees and Rodgers will recapture their 2011 mojo and the ball will seemingly be moved downfield in the blink of an eye.

Nevertheless, close games come down to coaching and that advantage obviously goes Green Bay's way.

It will be close, but Green Bay will prevail.

Final Score Prediction: Packers 38, Saints 34
