Going to finish out this big weekned with a double gom play in one game.... Choose whichever poison you decide or parlay them up or go against....

ATLANTA vs NEW ORLEANS

the most anticipated monday nighter besides opening day for a quality game.... But i will say it will be another disappinting one as imo this game will be all saints.....

This game means so much more to the saints being that they are in the position to be up 3 games on atlanta with a win come monday... Not only that but the following 3 weeks feature carolina,st.louis and tampa bay who have combined to win only 4 games out of 22.... 2 of those wins came this past weekend.

Now many will look at those games and say wow the saints are going to have it easy.... But carolina has won b2b games , st. Louis just won , and the bucs are hungry for their first win ..... Not to mention the rams and bucs games will be played on the road.... Not to mention the matchup of the year looms nov. 30 against the patriots, right after the bucs game.... So this game will have a lot of meaning in regards to scheduling

yes this game is huge for new orleans ...bigger than most will believe..... The easiest winner tonight is the moneyline, but who wants to play 6-1 odds.... Not me thats for sure..... So the question becomes can they cover this 11 point spread..... I believe so and this is why...

Atlanta despite the gonzales acquisition really havent succeeded last years success:

total yards per game
this year ~ 323 #19
last year ~ 361 #6

passing yards per game
this year ~ 220 #17 ~~ (7.1 ypc #13)
last year ~ 209 #6 ~~ (12.6 ypc #2)

rushing yards per game
this year ~ 103 #20 (3.6 ypc #26)
last year ~ 153 #2 (4.4 ypc #8)

as you can see the dropoff has been substancial for the falcons and imo the soft schedule last season has shown its effect this season.... The defense hasnt really improved and going against this saints offense will only spell more trouble and questions for atlanta backers.... Sure they are underdog by 2 scores and imo rightfully so, but the bottom line is that the falcnons will not be able to stop this offense from the defensive side and their offense wont be able to score as miami did last week.

The saints showed us last week how with an offense they can come back from any deficit.... And against a passing defense just as good as miamis if not worse, i see no problem in the saints repeating to score when they want to..... I dont think this game will be a high scoring one either as imo i believe the weapons the saints have will open up the run game and control the game enough against a horrible run defense thats giving up almost 5 yards a carry....

One more note.... Believe it or not the saints defense is greater than most think despite having the big leads.... They are the #11 team in net yards per a game at 307... They are 8th in the league against the run (92ypg) and they are tied with (phi)
coming into this game with 18 takeaways.

What atlanta needs to succeed, i dont just see it happening

final score

SAINTS 34
FALCONS 16

I cant wait for NOVEMBER 30th when the New England comes to town for the real showdown !!!!!

15**** NEW ORLEANS -11.5

15 **** UNDER 55.5

5** PARLAY ~~ NO/UNDER ( not for record )

BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR PLAYS
