Green Bay will head into the Superdome coming off a huge offensive output against the Carolina Panthers. With an offense capable of putting points on the board in bunches, Green Bay will likely be in every game this season.

The Superdome is no joke, and the Saints always seem to elevate their game when playing at home. After falling in the final seconds to Detroit last week, Drew Brees and crew will be looking to get back on track. It will take a better effort from the defense this week, as the Packers provide much more punch on offense.

Here is how Madden 15 sees the matchup playing out:

Green Bay Packers (38) New Orleans Saints (10)

Aaron Rodgers 297 yards 3 touchdowns
Marques Colston 10 receptions 106 yards
Jordy Nelson 10 receptions 109 yards
Randall Cobb 8 receptions 78 yards 3 touchdowns

With Aaron Rodgers at the top of his game, there is no doubt his receivers stand to benefit. Madden 15 sees a high offensive output for Green Bay, and Jordy Nelson will once again lead they way. Despite not scoring touchdowns, it will be Nelson racking up yardage all over the field. Also, look for touchdown go to Randall Cobb to rack up a few scores this week.

Drew Brees hasn’t been much of himself thus far this year, and Madden 15 expects that to continue. If the elite quarterback is going to elevate himself back to that level, there is almost no better place than at home.

Check back in to see how Madden 15 did with its predictions throughout the weekend.
