5 Reasons The Saints Will Beat The 49ers

My 5 reasons ...

1) Sproles - I think he will be our go-to-guy in this game. Maybe a few new plays in this game designed for him to make the difference. Plus he wore that Cincinnati Reds hat during last week's promo shots for NBC and that is good mojo cuz Barry Larkin just made the HOF.

2) Morestead - He can help us win the battle of field position versus whoever is punting or kicking off vs the Niners, in what could be a lower-scoring game than what we're used to.

3) It's been forever and we are due for a pick 6 sometime now. Maybe Alex Smith can serve one up for us.

4) Our run defense has been playing a little better this year. We might give up a drive or two, but still I think we can keep Gore and Hunter from destroying us all game.

5) Michael Higgins. Jimmy Graham is great but we should be careful about overusing him. We need someone else to contribute at TE (especially if Moore still can't go) and Higgins has been getting more playing time. Maybe this will be his breakout game. I just gotta pull for a guy from University of Nebraska-Omaha.

NOTE: I actually haven't seen any Niners games this year. Maybe I'll catch one on NFL Rewind. I will admit playing a stout 3-4 defense could be tough this week.
