The pressure will on the Saints to stay undefeated in this game. Last week in Miami was a clear indication of this, and it's starting to mount on this team who's in unfamiliar territory with this kind of success. I remember when the Broncos were 12-0 playing against the lowly Kansas City Chiefs, favored by -14.5 at home. The Broncos barely survived that game, by winning 34-31 to go 13-0 before losing next week to a bad Giants team.
The Falcons are a good team, probably the top four or six team in the NFC. This team definitely has an offense capable of hanging with the Saints and a strong running with Michael to keep that prolific Saints offense off the field. I like the Falcon keeping this one close here. Good teams usually perform much better the following week after having an off one, like they did in Dallas. I think the pressure free Falcons will make this game interesting against the Saints who are just relieved to survive Miami with a win. Falcons +12 it is!
