Henderson: Saints to face efficient Falcons red zone attack

NEW ORLEANS -- The odds-makers rate the Saints and the Falcons a pick 'em game and for good reason. In each of last season's meetings, the winner did so by a scant three points.

While turnovers are vitally important in determining the outcome in every game, the Saints simply must avoid them in the Georgia Dome.

The Falcons' ability to take it away -- 10 interceptions -- has contributed to their +2 performance.

Atlanta has forced a turnover in 27 consecutive games, the NFL’s longest active streak.

While the Saints have had difficulty on both ends of the field in the red zone, the Falcons have been unusually productive there.

The -6 on us have been INT's, all Drew has to do is make good decisions, which he will and we win. I can't wait until Sunday, almost nothing better to see is Atlanta losing and Mike Smiths facial expressions, priceless.
