The 25-game all time series between the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants currently stands at 14-11 in favor of the team from the Big Apple, while the team from the Big Easy looks to further close the gap between them with a first ever winning streak of 3-in-a-row. New Orleans has only ever won two meetings in a row against the G-Men one other time, prior to this current Payton era streak (2006, 30-7 in NY and 2009, 48-27 in NO), way back in 1969 by the score of 25-24 on the road and immediately again in 1970 by a final of 14-10 at home.

The Saints don’t lag too far behind in terms of points scored in these head-to-head regular season matchups with the Giants either. New York holds a narrow 522 to 495 points for lead over the Saints at the present time.

New Orleans could have been going for their 5th straight victory over the Giants if their 2005 season “home” game hadn’t been played in New York the year of Hurricane Katrina. The Saints had beaten the Giants at home in 2003 by the score of 45-7, only to lose to New York, in New York, in a “home” game 10-27 for their very next meeting in 2005. The Giants haven’t won at the Superdome since a 24-14 triumph on December 20, 1993 and have gone 0-3 in their last three visits to the the Southeastern Louisiana bayou.

The New Orleans Saints are currently 21-7 at home since the 2008 regular season and 7-2 on Monday Night Football since Sean Payton took over as head coach before the 2006 season.
