Green Bay's offense wasted no time 
sending a message to the rest of the league that it will not rest on its Super Bowl laurels. The Packers came out both barrels blazing last Thursday as they battled their way to a 42-34 win over the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers was nearly flawless in the victory, completing 27-of-35 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns, but the defense got rung up for 27 first downs and 477 yards by the Saints potent offense.
Fortunately for Green Bay, they will not have to face Drew Brees this week, instead, they get Cam Newton, who threw for an NFL rookie debut record 422 yards in last week's 28-21 loss to the Cardinals.
Yes, Newton's unexpected performance was impressive, as was the 477 yard outburst from an offense that averaged a league worst 258.4 yards per game last season, but he is a rookie after all.
If Newton turns in another effort like the one he did against Arizona opposite the Packers, go ahead and crown him Rookie of the Year right now. But good luck to the Heisman winner duplicating that showing against Clay Matthews and company.
The Saints are a veteran offense with far more weapons than the Panthers, and Brees is experienced at dealing with the kind of pressure the Packers bring, Newton is not. The Auburn product will get his cage rattled on Sunday; it would be foolish to expect an unblemished outing from him given the heat he is going to face.
Green Bay, despite being a poor regular season road team last year, gets the cover in this talent mismatch.
