Read a stat today that the Falcons lead the league in longest drives and time of possesion. If this plays out tonight and they are held to field goal attempts instead of TD's then the under has a very good chance. Keep away from Brees is the name of the game for ATL. Other school of thought is that the Saints get out in front early and force the Falcons into the No Huddle Spread which they also execute very well. Personally I like the Saints straight up. They have more to play for and I believe ATL has a very Vanilla game plan, not wanting to show the Saints whats in store come playoff time. Additionally, ATL can lock up #1 seed next week against CAR in ATL.

Im a little on the fence here. This is the highest OU line for either team this year (50 pts). The best play on this may be a no play. Anyone have any additional information that can swing me?

all the posts here suggest forgetting the total and just playing ATL ATS

The mayor of ATL called for a pep rally last night and the owner put incentives out (tied to vending discounts) for the crowd to arrive early and be in thier seats. Place should be a mad house which usually isnt the case in ATL sporting events. Not sure if this means anything but ATL Defense is a speed defense that plays very well at home. Weatherspoon, Moore, Lofton and Decoud are all young fast studs that were drafted to negate the Saints Offense. Can they? They basically did in week 3x and last game of 2009. Tough call.
