Got a good feeling about this game. Not so sure that LA will take care of SF though

Re: Saints @ Falcons Game Day Thread
 

Jimmy G is nursing a similar injury as to what Brees had on his throwing thumb a few years back. He's definitely playing injured today.

I just believe the Rams/McVay/Aaron Donald will be too much for the Niners.
