Who is taking the Falcons tonight?

acarmelo1 · 11-02-09, 11:19 AM

Saints will win, not sure about the spread

pavyracer · 11-02-09, 11:29 AM

Falcons will keep the game close. They always play the Saints tough.

tcarn01 · 11-02-09, 11:36 AM

I think even the Falcons are taking the Saints tonight......

whooo datttt

thebertshow · 11-02-09, 11:37 AM

No I can't take the Falcons

Capybara · 11-02-09, 11:37 AM

I haven't analyzed the game yet, but I'm already leaning Falcons. We all know the Saints are playing great, but the Falcons are no punks. They are a quality team and this is a big division game that they need. The number has gotten too high -- it's 12 points on my betting site.

I want to take the Falcons but the Saints are scary good.

pavyracer · 11-02-09, 11:40 AM

If the number was 7 or less I would have taken Saints. With the number at 13 approaching 14 you don't need to be a brain surgeon to take the Falcons. Saints struggled on defense last week and this is good news for Michael Turner and Matt Ryan attacking the weak Saints defense at will.

I like Atlanta

I'm taking Atlanta plus the points. Atlanta has a good running game with Turner and Ryan at QB. Granted, they will need some breaks to keep from getting blown out.

Atlanta is 8-1 ATS after a loss.

Final Score prediction: New Orleans 34 Atlanta 27

NorthernGlory · 11-02-09, 11:54 AM

Ive taken ATL +12 -110 and NO to win by 7-12 +350
Got in yesterday so Im not sure if the line is the same, may need to boost it a little more if theres much of a change in my favour.
I really think this is going to be a close game and I dont really see the saints covering the 12..
Hopefully it'll be a nice happy ending for me

lakerboy · 11-02-09, 11:57 AM

The question now is did the Saints expend a lot to pull off that comeback in Miami last week? Also the Falcons were beaten pretty soundly last week in Dallas do they have a better game plan tonite?

NorthernGlory · 11-02-09, 12:05 PM

With the line now at 13 the question is do the saints cover?
Personally I dont think so and with everyone jumping on the saints hopefully it may drive the line to 14 and force me to double my stake

But that was against the Wildcat ......Atlanta doesn't run a wildcat. You cant say " This team struggles against the wildcat so they cant stop the run" that would be premature.

In the 2nd half the Saints came out and shut the wildcat down and forced Miami to go to there passing game. That was clearly a trap game for the Saints and they still came back from a 24-3 deficit and won by double digits on the road! How many teams in the NFL can do that in a trap game?

With the Saints being at home this what I see!

Saints 48

Falcons 21

Mr Handicapable · 11-02-09, 12:23 PM

This is a tough one

The Saints have feasted on turnovers but Matt Ryan takes pretty good care of the ball! The problem w/the Falcons is that Turner looks fat...doesn't seem to be running with any explosiveness and Norwood is out! Did Turner get a new contract because he plays like it now? I don't see the Falcons hanging around without pounding the ball and eating clock? The total is sky high but I still like it a little better than laying 12 against a division rival on MNF!

Saints 38 Atlanta 23

Thats exactly my point, I think the falcons are the team to do it!
It doesnt matter how many teams have or havent done it, a team will do it and I think it will be tonight.

have you seen the Falcons secondary ? If you have a bad secondary you are not going to stay within 14 of the Saints!

Watch this video of how the Saints shredded the Giants secondary!

windmann2 · 11-02-09, 12:33 PM

Falcons defense is 23rd in the league...Their secondary is swiss cheese...need I say more???

lakerboy · 11-02-09, 12:35 PM

ZBOIZ is on a roll. Biggest homer ever. I like the Saints they have a very good team. The only issue i have with this game is that Sedrick Ellis is out and the Falcons have a good offensive line and will be able to run the ball.

I'm trying to warn these people!

NFL is all about match ups and the Falcons don't match up well!

People need to look at that Giants and Saints video I have above!

Michael Turner: “We don’t want to fall three games behind. In the NFL it’s tough to catch up once you fall that many games behind and they have a win on you already. We’ve got to do whatever it takes to pull off this win on Monday.”

The Falcons will be ready tonight. The Falcons let the Cowboys run up the score last week and conserved energy when they realized they couldn't win knowing the real battle for the division is tonight. The Saints spent too much energy to come back from behind last week. Atlanta covered the spread last year and won one game outright when facing the favorite Saints twice. The Falcons team is better than last year's team.

Thats fine with Ellis out. You know why ? Our defense is not based on a front 4 rush only, it's based on blitzes here's a video of what I'm talking about.

look st 53 seconds on out!

btraband · 11-02-09, 12:40 PM

Kav · 11-02-09, 12:45 PM

saints shit on that HORRIBLE falcons secondary which consists of a good amount of rookies. the bears exposed there secondary before, now the saints will also. the passing game of bree's is unreal, who better to tear apart that secondary at this moment? oh ya and not to mention the saints have a pretty decent defense.

saints -11 for me!

The Saints last year struggled on the defensive side of the ball. This is a whole new team with a whole new attitude. The Saints defense last year was at the bottom, this year there at the top in defensive rankings and they lead the NFL with defensive touchdowns.

So think about it you have a offense that's explosive and a defense that's adding points also that become hard to beat.
