Saints will win this game at home, I think the Falcons will beat the Saints in their game later this season, but the Saints in the Super Dome is scary at this point. 24-13 N.O
Gotta like the Saints at home - that defense hasn't gotten near the credit it deserves and of course, Praise Breesus.
yep, at this point, until the saints prove otherwise, which may happen before January, they are too strong for someone like the falcons.
im going for the upset with the falcons.... saints are playing VERY well...but i believe they are OVER acheiving on the defensive side of the ball.... if atl can get the running game going i see atl winning
well, of course their defense is OVERachieving, as the phins proved last week by putting up quite a few points on them. however, i don't think this game will be determined as much by what the Saints do as how the Falcons do. We know the Saints defense can be exposed, not quite as much at home though. The problem I have picking the Falcons is that I don't see how their defense can slow down the Saints consistently. Even IF the Falcons expose the Saints run defense like the phins did, I still can't see them outscoring the Saints. Best case scenario is 42-35 Saints and a moral victory for the Falcons. In reality, it will probably be a 30-10 type score.
At 6-0, the odds of the Saints making the playoffs are extremely good. So what's next? - Win the division. That starts on Monday night.
I just dont see the Falcons having an upset, weirder things have happened so I am not ruleing it out lol.... I like the Falcons but the Saints have proved no matter what the score is their hearts are in it till the end.
I lost a little respect for the Falcons last week; still, I've got a feeling about this one...Saints get their first loss of the season.
normally when the world series is matched up against MNF, the world series gets crushed in the tv ratings. however, with the yankees in the series this year, MLB may finally take it. as far as this football game, (which will be MY choice of tv viewing obviously because baseball blows), I still feel that the best showing the falcons can hope for is to put up some points against the saints defense. I don't think their defense matches up well with the saints so the saints are going to score a lot.
