Tempted to pull the trigger on this one... but the Falcons are playing pretty well right now. Should be a hell of a game.

The at home advantage

ScottF 11-08-2011 06:59 AM

oddsmakers usually give home team 3-3.5 points, so in a pick game, we are technically favored.

no matter

Anyone going? I'll be in section 111

I'll pull the trigger, we are going to beat the crap out of them. Payton will want to send the rest of the NFC South a message especially the Falcons. We will look real good going into the bye.

Do it. ....... Do it now! :awe:

Saints have something to prove this week in ATL - Own your division.
Winning on the road against the team that was picked to win the NFC South would be huge.
Let the birds know that they are a joke, and that we are for real.
Rest and heal up the next week for the final push to the post season.

Offensively - Run the ball ... AGAIN, like they did against the Bucs, and don't give up on it.
Defensively - Stop Michael Turner! That's it. Not easy, but that's the job.
We can live with Matio and Juliette. With no running game, they disintegrate.

winmill1 11-08-2011 09:28 AM

yes we are favored by 2.5

saintfan 11-08-2011 11:43 AM

We keep talking about wanting to be an elite team. No time like the present to step up and prove it.

MAKE MY DAY, do it papz. lol
we are a better team than the clowns, we have more talent, we have better coaching, and definitly have better fans. i know we have to put it all in one basket but i believe we out gun them by 150 yards and 9 pts.

Nervous here. It's our OFF week...

We have to go on the road and beat this team....we cannot blow this chance to really get up in the division...I posted the remaining Failcon schedule in another post and this could send them into a tailspin ..they have some tough games ahead..

We do to..but we will be at home....this would be a great win..not giving them credit...but it would send a early message to who the NFC south champ will be..

saintsfan1976 11-08-2011 08:12 PM

Agree w Strat.

Game's a pick-em now. Probably shouldn't go more than 1.5 in either direction.

Vegas knows it'll be close. They're simply evening the bets.

Win baby win!! I hate the Fal-clowns. My favorite teams The Saints & whoever is playing the Clowns!!

(BE HONEST - who doesn't really HATE clowns?? Clowns hate themselves!!)

FireVenturi 11-08-2011 09:24 PM

Going to come down to the wire . Whoever wins the turnover battle, wins the game

SaintPauly 11-09-2011 12:08 AM

I will be at the game... Free luxury box tickets!!!!! Oh yeah....

RockyMountainSaint 11-09-2011 06:55 AM

Normally, you can chalk this up to the 3-pt home field thing.

In this case, it is the 14 freakin pts that Atl ALWAYS gets from the officials' constant refusal to call push-offs and pick plays that these clowns routinely run.

week, after week, after week, after week, after week, ad infinitum......

JoanieNTX 11-09-2011 11:21 AM

Weren't they favored last season when we beat them in the Ga Dome???

Yes, great win
and the penalties were something like 9 on us, 2 on them. Remember the phantom shot to the head Matty did[n't] take?

saintfan 11-09-2011 02:21 PM

Yeah, and the acting award goes to...

Tony Gonzales. I hope our DBs are prepared. That guy flops more than an NBA defender. And the refs seem more than willing to give him the flag.

SaintsRule11 11-09-2011 02:39 PM

Leigh Torrence will have to step up. Any word on Tracy?

SaintPauly 11-09-2011 03:12 PM

Gonzolez is also the king of the endzone push off! Gets away with it more than anyone in the league!

JoanieNTX 11-09-2011 03:37 PM

Isn't it about time that giant retired???
