Packers QB Jordan Love threw for 182 yards and a TD before getting pulled from Monday night's lopsided win over the Saints. He found WR Dontayvion Wicks for the game's first TD but then watched his team score two more times on the ground before departing.

Love was merely OK against the Saints, completing 16 of 28 passes at 6.5 yards per attempt.

More than one-third of his yardage went to TE Tucker Kraft, who caught three passes for 63 yards (34.6% of Love's passing yards).

Love was actually on pace for his most pass attempts since Week 9 before leaving.

Week 17 holds a rematch with Minnesota, which saw Love throw 54 passes in Week 2 and rack up 389 yards, 4 TDs, and 3 INTs.

We'll bet on less passing volume this time. But the matchup might push Love to 30+ pass attempts for the first time since that aforementioned Week 9 game.

Minnesota allowed four of its past six opponents to throw for 295+ yards.
