3 reasons the Saints will beat the Falcons on Monday night
 

Monday night’s game features a rivalry matchup between two NFC South teams aiming to supplant the Panthers as the best in the division.

The New Orleans Saints enter this one at 0-2 following heartbreaking losses to the Raiders and Giants in the final minutes. The Falcons, on the other hand, topped the Raiders in a shootout last week, but looked overmatched by the Buccaneers in Week 1.

This game figures to be a shootout between Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, the latter of whom surprisingly leads the NFL in passing yards per game (365). The Saints will be without two of their top cornerbacks, but as is the case with just about every game featuring Brees, they’ll put up points in bunches and force the Falcons to keep pace.

Here are three reasons the Saints will top the Falcons in this high-scoring affair on Monday night.
