Saints figure to be slight favorite against Giants

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's a good matchup. Both teams are strong in pretty much every facet of the game. Those games usually come down to special teams. Don't drop the ball, Reggie....

Of course it is the best you have seen Eli.. he hasn't played anyone.

Reality is, as strange as it sounds, the Giants have not seen a defense this season like the Saints defense, nor seen an offense like the Saints offense.

Playing against the cream-puff defenses the Giants have played, and having played one more game, they have only 137 more yards than the Saints in total run offense.


... I am not saying the Giants are bad or that they are going to be a cakewalk. I just don't see the Giants as anything else other than another team the Saints should beat at home.

We have been so far. The Saints have been winning on defense with a balanced attack of stopping the run, getting after the QB, and taking the ball away along with playing solid pass defense on the back end.

The same can be said for the Giants. Look at the competition they've played so far...

Washington
Dallas
Tampa Bay
KC
Oakland

All mediocre at best.

Also, if our Offense is only good for 10-17 points we lose this game. Their D ranks either 1 or 2 overall so SP better have a better plan than the last 2 weeks cause we are playing a better team than the jets or bills.
We know from past experience that the Saints can crank up the offense even against very good defenses. This season there just really hasn't been a need to do so.

I do admit that I'm a bit concerned with red zone efficiency. When the Saints offense gets in close they need to close the deal.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
