Atlanta Falcons are having an ok season, they thought it was going to be a tough one and they were right but they have managed to stay right behind the Saints and that is not easy to do. QB Matt Ryan had a tough game against the Cowboys, his offensive line was all over the place and they weren’t able to complete the opportunities. With 2 tds and 2 interceptions Ryan is trying to put the ball in the air as accurate as possible but he still needs some time to adjust, his time will come but it will not be this season. By air Ryan has WR Roddy White and TE Tony Gonzalez, they both have been the soul of the offense scoring many tds this season. The running game will be on RB Michael Turner who has scored 7 tds already, that is simply amazing for a running back on a semi-powerful team. The key for the Falcons will be to attack by grown and throw only when it’s absolutely necessary, they don’t need to waste any chances and they need to have the ball, if they defend they need to block the running game.

New Orleans Saints have some injuries for this game, FB Heath Evans (knee injury) and DT Sedrick Ellis (sprained right knee) are both questionable for this NFC South Challenge. The good news is that TE Jeremy Shockey is probable and he will be needed. QB Drew Brees and the gang are expecting to score a whole bunch of TDS, they have done so all year long and this will be a great opportunity to remind the rest of the conference that they are a team to consider favorite to take the title. Drew had a slow game last sunday but his team was able to score 40+ points again, this looks like a very complete offense/defense strategy. By air Brees will have WR Marques Colston and WR Devery Henderson, they have been catching everything so the Falcons need to keep an eye on these two players. On the grown is where the big difference lies, RB Mike Bell and RB Pierre Thomas have ran 5+ yards per carry and they are a real threat to the defensive line the Falcons have, they need to break their defense to crush them, and they will.

GAME ODDS

ATLANTA FALCONS 54
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -10

THE ODDS INDICATE A GOOD SCORING GAME, THE MAIN FOCUS OF BOTH TEAMS IS THE OFFENSE, NEW ORLEANS HAS A BETTER DEFENSE AND THAT’S WHY THEY ARE THE BIG FAVORITES, OBVIOUSLY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AT HOME MAKES THE GAME MORE INTERESTING AND THE NEED TO KEEP THEIR WINNING STREAK ALIVE. MY PICK WILL BE THE HOME TEAM NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -10 TO CRUSH WITHOUT MERCY THE POOR FALCONS.
