saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

this is another game to be afraid of.........
the 49's are capable of putting up points fast, not good if you're the saints....
the dog is on vacation, so you're stuck with me.......
given the fact that anything is possible on any given sunday,
my gut tells me the 49's blow us away in a romp, 45-10.........
my heart tells me maybe the saints will show up and take care of business, 24-21......
gut, heart, gut, heart, gut, heart.........
gut takes it........
saints get crushed along with their hopes of a 500 season............
this is subject to change since i am straight........
maybe later in the week when i'm smashed the heart will go ahead........

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I kinda feel the same way but i think we will fight to stay in the game and win by the seat of our pants. They have a taste of winning again and they want to keep that flavor.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I believe we win by 2 td's minimum. 49's are struggling on offense, our defense is stopping the run pretty well right now and I don't think Dilfer can beat us.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

With all the infighting between Gore and Hostler right now...I don't think the 9ers are blowing anyone out. Have you looked at their roster? I wrote a blog on these guys. No stud receivers, two crappy QBs, lack-luster O-line and Frank Gore who Hostler and Nolan have no idea how to use.

Looking at the D, they got Clemens and Willis surrounded by a bunch of jabronies.

If the Saints can't beat these guys, then this season is over.

Their offense if pitiful but their defense have plenty of solid players.

Final prediction - 24-13 Saints. I think this is the game we're finally going to see our offense in rhythm.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I'm going to go with the Saints winning, despite my concerns that SF is a 3 point home dog. I hate it when the Saints are favored on the road. That's never a good omen.

Saints 27, SF 17

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

It seems like Bryant Young has been there forever. The niners defense has two players that I covet in Willis and Clements. That defense doesn't scare me though.
I believe that they have capable offense that has been under performing. Jackson an unreliable talent. He's like Henderson. Great 49 yard touchdown on one series, two important drops the next.

Sounds like the Saints. Average defense, under performing offense.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I think smith is gonna play after we knock out Dilfer and he is gonna torch us. We dont seem to be good when a backup comes in.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I think this game can go either way... I think I'll save my prediction to how good my coffee is that morning.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

Xan stop scaring me like that. Let SF be favored it takes attention off the Saints.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

45-17 Saints nice preparation game for the Jags at home.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I'm not feeling too spunky on this one. For some reason, I think the Saints will be flat again in the first half (down 17-7). But the boys come back and get the offense going, shut down the 9'ers and win 21-20.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I posted this in a previous thread, but here it is again with some add-on;

I think the keys to success for Saints to bring home a W from Monster Park is simply "don't beat yourself". This game is ours to win if we don't have a turnover frenzy.
- 9ers offense is basically Frank Gore, so stuff Gore and pressure Dilfer or Alex Smith (listed as probable).
- 9ers haven't scored over 20 points in a game so far this season, they won their first 2 but have been on a 4 game losing streak since.
- Both Saints and 9ers are 2-4, but the trend shows the 9ers on a decline and the Saints improving
- former Saints Michael Lewis is now the 9ers return specialist, we all know he's dangerous. Kick the ball deep and cover.
- 9ers need a win after losing 4 straight, so watch the onside kick, fake punts, and any other trick-or-treats they might serve up.

I see the Saints giving the 9ers the same treatment the Hawks got. Saints defense shows up big and holds another offense under a 100yds rushing. Pierre Thomas takes some attention off Reggie and he burns the 9ers defense and gets nominated for FedX ground player of the week. Lance Moore and Colston also share the highlight reels in this 9er spanking. Olindo Mare finds redemption as he helps pad the lead with 3 field goals.

Saints 30
9ers 17

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

Saints - 38
49ers - 23
i get to record this game due to location :)
tailgating can do a number on memory and i'm really hoping i want to remember this one

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

I feel pretty good about getting a win against the 49'ers, Gore's numbers are down the last three games due to a poor passing game by the 49'ers.

Gore's numbers the last three games.

SEA 16 for 79 yards
BAL 16 for 52 yards
NYG 14 for 88 yards

Saints win this one by 10 points.

Saints keep Gore under a 100 yards....

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

This will be a tough one for us. They have some good players on D. Two very good corners in Clements and Harris. I don't see the Saints blowing these guys out, but I do see a victory. 20-16 Saints. If we lose, Drew had another bad game.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

For what it's worth ESPN just announced that Alex Smith is starting this week. He hasn't played too well this year but he's better than Dilfer.

Re: saints vs 49's final prediction.......
 

Reggie and Alex were teammates in high school at Helix (La Mesa, Calif.).
