Now there's a huge difference between Brees & Bridgewater ... is Drew trying to force plays or not throwing it away properly? (Stafford frequently has on both counts & got himself in trouble).

JMO.

Unluckily for the Lions, Brees threw his bone-headed pick 6 in the last game. Hopefully that is still front-of-mind and he doesn't repeat it.

Brees will be harassed, but he checks off and hits his first read as well as anybody.
Saints 31-21 (7 Prater FG's)
