ESPN game simulator picks big win for Saints
 

Just found this on ESPN you can run simulations of any real game or pit any team you want against each other with any players you want. I never gave much credit to these kind of things, but its picking the Saints big, so I like it this week. Ran it a couple of times and it came up with pretty much the same thing each time. Here is how they come up with the results and the stats produced.
