These teams know each other too well. Short week prep..the playbook would be shortened.
Lets go!

Too early and I don't think it's really a great game.

Tough to call. These games usually go under between the 2 though. Everyone always expects over and it ends 20-14

Lean Under myself at 51.5.
Short week not good for Julio's hammy and they now have a running back in Freeman where they can be more run oriented and then let Jones heal before next game 10 days later.

Do not think atl good as their record. Problem is they continue playing poor competition so it's hard to fade them.

Poor Competition??? Maybe the Texans, other than that you make no sense. Falcons swept the NFC East. If they hadnt, their records would be:
Giants 4-1
Eagles 3-2
Cowboys 3-2
Redskins 3-2

Hard to count on that Saints defense. When Rob Ryan gets canned this time he ain't gonna say ...."I'll only be outta work for, like, 2 minutes." Gonna be a bit longer this time. Fraud.
I don't get it... what have the Saints shown at all this entire year that would have people supporting them? 1-4 record, that 1 win being a somewhat flukey overtime win over a crippled Dallas team with Weeden and a new injured receiver every series. That's it, their only success. They went 0-8 at home last year. They're facing an undefeated team with a very solid running game. Diminish their wins all you want but wins are definitely better than losses...
I understand some value in a home dog, if the line fits. But Saints +3 in this situation seems absurd.

They could/should of lost all their games. They could just as easily have 1 win as they do 5. Theyve been skimming by by the hair on their teeth most weeks, with the expection of the texans game ill give them.
Washington isnt good, shouldve lost that game, fumble recovery in the endzone for a td???? Pick 6 to win in OT???
Dallas---they playe brandon fukkin weeden, got crushed for a half but garrett fuckin sucks and blew that game. Should be an L for atlanta there too
Giants---ok they arent "poor compettion" but they trailed 10 in the FOURTH quarter, on the road. Should be an L most scenarios.
Philly--again, not poor comp, blew 17 pt lead, trailed that game too. Missed FG & Matthews lets the ball slip through his hands for a pick. Who knows what wouldve happened after that but point remains if not for missed FG could be another L.
Ill gove them the texans win after that they could/shouldve lost the rest. How thry escaped dallas without an L is beyond me. Hats off to you, jason garrett.
Their defensive numbers are pretty awful too and they cant get after the passer. Their remaining schedule is just pathetic until they hit Carolina late in the season too. Dont mean to take too much away, 5-0 is still great, but yall need to look at the bigger picture sometimes. It is great they are rescilient and fight back but how long can that luck last? Not every week has to be a blowout but you cant trail every game and rely on comebacks or missed opportunities from your opponents.

agree, pass rush sucks but so does saints OL. Brees 3rd most sacked in the league. Falcons best in the league at run stopping, expect them to dominate the trenches again when Brees hands off. No colston hurts, Cooks has been disappointing and none of the receivers on NO strike any fear. On the flip expect the Falcons to be able to run, Matt Ryan is decent at best and the only chance the Saints have is if they can shut down Freeman.

Falcons showed heart beating the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas.. Flip side - Saints are getting better with every game..
Atlanta is winning games lately but not dominating them.. This might be a close game but I think Altanta pulls it out..

They discovered Freeman and their run game that game, that was the game Atlanta became a complete team. Can you remember the last time they had even a GOOD running game? Now they have a great running game, this is a different Falcons team than the one who leaned on Matty Ice to win games for them. Dan Quinn has turned around the D incredibly quick as well, best run D in the NFL

Atlanta beating a Wheeten run Cowboy team in his first game at QB did not impress me... Cowboys suck.. Saints will play even with the Falcons in the dome tonight on the fast turf I think.. First half of play especially..
For people thinking of playing the Saints you may want to consider playing the Saints in the 1st half.. Falcons start slow in this one..
