    Outside of QB, and MAYBE RB the Cowboys are better at legit every spot on the football field. Let's be serious here.

    Comparing Boys vs Saints in the above post, not Falcons.

    Dallas gave the Saints that game, I watched it all. Saints a terrible football team, Jameis and the bucs dominated them, say no more. Falcons LARGE for me.

    So you think Atlanta is gonna stroll into New Orleans and spank the Saints? Maybe but the Saints are showing improvement game to game now.. Brees should score at home.. I think it will be a close game with Atlanta pulling it out in the end..

    I'm thinking Saints first half +3...

    Out of all the undefeated teams 5-0 or 4-0 the Falcons had the toughest schedule.

    Patriots: Beat Steelers, Bills, Jaguars, Cowboys (Weeden)
    Bengals: Beat Raiders, Chargers, Ravens, Chiefs, Seahawks (All 5 teams have losing records)
    Broncos: Beat Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Raiders (4 teams with losing records, 1 team 2-2)
    Packers: Beat Bears, Seahawks, Chiefs, 49ers, Rams (All 5 teams have losing records)
    Panthers: Beat Jaguars, Texans, Saints, Buccaneers (All 5 teams have losing records)

    So when you say Falcons didn't beat anyone then who did the other undefeated teams beat?

    problem is qb means everything. Romo in comparison to weeden is a monumental difference. Plus no dez

    Whoops you're right, I knew they did terrible at home last year but looked at the wrong line in the standings. Tampa was 0-8. Point still stands though, the Saints dominant hone field advantage is a thing of the past and they're a vastly inferior team in this game.

    If any of the other undefeated teams were in this game the line would be double digits.

    Agreed, QB is everything thats why when we saw Brees out against Carolina the line moved about 7 points. QB vs QB gimme Ryan THIS YEAR over Brees (slightly, neither are elite) and I edge every other single position on the field to the Falcons too. Superdome is a non issue, 2-3 years ago I'm staying off this game but NO is now one of the least feared home teams IMO. I can only think a handful of home field advantages that I think are worse.

    you guys do understand that this is the nfl and it doesn't matter who you have beaten or lost to right? every matchup is it's own unique matchup. bringing up past results is pretty irrelevant and an amateur way to gamble

    That has no bearing on this game. None whatsoever. The gameplan for beating the Saints is not the same gameplan for beating the Texans or the Redskins. Is this amateur hour in here?

    Some dumb ass said the Falcons didn't beat anyone and they only played poor teams.

    I'm on the under 52 tonight. I did not tell anyone to play the Falcons tonight.

    True to an extent but you have to put some weight into recent play and trends.. Atlanta is winning games so it's hard to bet against that.. Saints are starting to play better ball lately and are at home tonight.. Brees whom still is a great QB is starting.. Tough game to call really...

    I think the under looks solid. I think Brees will do work but will struggle once he hits the red zone. Look for Saints to settle for about 4-5 field goals. I say game ends like 19-17 saints.

    Under is the play. And like goat said...the worst mistake you can make in the NFL is looking at previous games like they mean something.

    Saints hasn't hold any team under 100 rushing. Eagles crushed them on the ground and Falcons can do the same with a red hot Freeman. They can control the clock and Saints defense will have a hard time deciding on whether to cover Falcons rush attack or pass attack. Something will break. Saints has a lack of pass rush and it looks like Julio Jones is fine and ready to play. I can't find any angle on betting the Saints other than TNF is a magical night. Eagles scored 39 points DESPITE two end zone interceptions and two failed 4th & long plays.
    Brees sure can throw the ball, but Ryan can throw the ball aswell. Saints has no significant home field advantage like they had two years ago.

    What's your angle on the saints?

    You must really respect that vaunted Saints defense lead by that outstanding defensive mind of Rob Ryan.

    GTFO, lol.

    And you call others amateurs.

    No, they suck. But they'll show up decently today. Short week for ATL with travel etc. New Orleans will possess the ball for most of the clock tonight. Low scoring FG type game.

    How will Saints possess the ball the most? Atlanta has one of the best rush defenses in the league. Saints run D is ranked 29th.
    Not sure that Saints can put 8 men in the box without having to pay for it..

    Rankings mean nothing. It's 5 weeks into the year. Name 3 guys of ATL's front 7 that are pro bowlers..... They're an average defense that has overachieved. What you are on paper means a lot more in the long run than what you've done for a few weeks.... Saints are gonna run the ball all day on that ATL defense, I guarantee it. I think Saints will possess the ball a lot and their lack of execution in the red zone will probably hurt them. I see a FG type game either way.

    Wish I didn't put my bets in already as the lines are moving even more toward saints. Inexplicable, looks like the books tricked people into liking the Saints and will clean up on an Atl win

    Sure they do. Why wouldn't they mean something? It tells me at least something when Atlanta is ranked 1st in run D when New Orleans is ranked 29th. But Pro Bowlers mean something? Dallas didn't have many pro bowlers last year but they turned up alright thanks to a great def coordinator. Rankings involves a teams performances against others team, and includes coordinators. Pro Bowlers are stats machines and is all about the individual.
    Why would Saints run the ball all day against that Falcons D when other, better teams, had problems with it?

    Like I said, ATL has had a good start, but over the course of 16 games, when you don't have a good defense on paper, it's going to start to show at some point. You really think ATL is the number 1 run defense? You can't name one ELITE player in their front 7. Come on bro. Rankings mean nothing at this point. Ingram is gonna run on this defense. You'll see.

    I'm not saying it's the nr 1 run D, but it tells me something. What you have on paper isn't everything, coaching is important. Quinn has done a great job with improving this defense, you can't deny that. Ingram can run on this D, sure, but Freeman can double his numbers if Saints wants a ground and pound game. If Saints commit to stop the run, Jones, White, Hankerson and Tamme should be open.
    Atlanta could be missing ELITE players in their front 7 but Vic Beasley is really fast. And on the other hand, what does Saints got? Their pass rush is nothing up to this point.

    Dirty Birds are the best team in the league on a short week in the Matt Ryan era.

    Home dogs in division games with a high total also generally don't do too well.

    I'm not saying Saints will win, I just don't think it's gonna be a blowout. I think the Saints will have success running the ball. If I had to bet I'd say they'll generate more offense than the Falcons. I just don't trust the Saints to score in the Red Zone.

    Typical inter-division Thursday night trap game. How could a 1-4 team ever possibly beat an undefeated 5-0 team?

    Saints by double digits....

    Call it 38-28 and be done with it.
