Tempted to pull the trigger on this one... but the Falcons are playing pretty well right now. Should be a hell of a game.

The at home advantage

ScottF · 11-08-2011, 07:59 AM

oddsmakers usually give home team 3-3.5 points, so in a pick game, we are technically favored.

no matter

Anyone going? I'll be in section 111

I'll pull the trigger, we are going to beat the crap out of them. Payton will want to send the rest of the NFC South a message especially the Falcons. We will look real good going into the bye.

Do it. ....... Do it now!

Saints have something to prove this week in ATL - Own your division.
Winning on the road against the team that was picked to win the NFC South would be huge.
Let the birds know that they are a joke, and that we are for real.
Rest and heal up the next week for the final push to the post season.

Offensively - Run the ball ... AGAIN, like they did against the Bucs, and don't give up on it.
Defensively - Stop Michael Turner! That's it. Not easy, but that's the job.
We can live with Matio and Juliette. With no running game, they disintegrate.

yes we are favored by 2.5

We keep talking about wanting to be an elite team. No time like the present to step up and prove it.

MAKE MY DAY, do it papz. lol
we are a better team than the clowns, we have more talent, we have better coaching, and definitly have better fans. i know we have to put it all in one basket but i believe we out gun them by 150 yards and 9 pts.
