Just found this on ESPN you can run simulations of any real game or pit any team you want against each other with any players you want. I never gave much credit to these kind of things, but its picking the Saints big, so I like it this week. Ran it a couple of times and it came up with pretty much the same thing each time. Here is how they come up with the results and the stats produced.

That looks a lot like the actual game a few weeks ago.

5221, how about a link to the site? I couldn\'t find it.
