Week 13 predictions: Saints top Seahawks; Broncos right ship
 

Sunday 8:40 PM ET ESPN Saints 26 Seahawks 20


All right, this is the Big Kahuna, the Triple Lindy. Everyone has circled this contest on their pocket United Way schedules, and who could blame them? Whoever wins this game will have the inside track on the NFC's top seed. Interestingly enough, neither club has a conference loss. The Seahawks fell to the Colts, and the Saints' losses came to the Jets and Patriots. With that said, let's go to the tale of the tape. ...

Quarterback: Saints
Running game: Seahawks
Receivers: Saints
Special teams: Even (Editor's note: Dove into the numbers after seeing reader feedback. Seattle has some clear advantages, but I'm thinking the punting game will be the biggest factor. Thomas Morstead is one of the best in the business.)
Pass rush: Saints
Run defense: Seahawks
Secondary: Seahawks
Coaching: Saints
Location: Seahawks

We're aware of the Seahawks' newly found secondary issues, yet the Saints aren't any better off, following Jabari Greer's injury in Week 11. Call it an upset, as no team has won in Seattle in two years, but we're taking New Orleans. The Seahawks have played very good football over their last two games, but the hit-or-miss offense will have a stiff challenge against the league's fifth-ranked defense. #NOvsSEA

I would guess around the same final score Saints 19 Seahawks 17. I think we get payback for the playoff game.

Phew! They mentioned special teams and Morstead. And not our Garrett.

I actually saw some moron on the Seahawks forums say they would put up 38 points on the Saints. This is coming from people that say Saints fans have no idea about their team. Apparently, the jackwagon that predicted this is still going by last year's defense. He also hasn't been made aware that the Saints have only allowed over 20 or more points three times this season. Oh, but we don't have any idea about their team. :rolleyes:

Yeah ... flying under the radar is sometimes good. Let em keep thinking this is the 2012 defense if they want to.
