Trap game.

Road game & a "hot" QB. Our track record vs young/inexperienced QB's isn't all that good. Gotta put the heat on Mr. Mustache.

Jacksonville will be a tough out.

I'll be in that section with Adam Schiff. You can believe that.

Nawh... just taking care of business.

Our track record is based upon an almost completely different roster of players and has zero bearing on Sunday's game. Yes, we lost to Panthers' rookie Kyle Allen in week 17 last year, but we had virtually every starter on the bench.

We had a stretch where we lost to a few over the past decade or more, but can't think of any others recently.

Key match ups to watch ...

- Saints O line rank 2nd (per PFF) in the NFL - pass protection.
Jags are very good at rushing the passer (tied for 6th). 16 sacks so far (same as the Saints).

- Michael Thomas vs ? ... AJ Bouye or Ramsey (I don't think he plays). Bouye' has been decent but he'll have his hands full.

- Kamara vs Miles Jack (he was abused by Christian last week). AK could explode with a TD or 2. Maybe Murray gets into the mix as well. Jacksonville is a bottom tier rush defense thus far.

- Teddy B vs Jags passing D ... ranked 24th through week 5. If Teddy has time, expect him to pick apart that D like did vs Tampa.

- Latt vs DJ Chark .. DJ is a burner but Marshon has locked down two of the better WR's (Amari and Evans) over the last several weeks. DJ had 8 rec/164 2 TDs last week in a losing effort. Good match up.

- Apple vs Westbrook .. I'm not familiar with Jags #2 guy but Apple will test em. He's performed well thus far.

- All World Leonard Fournette vs Saints run D (Brown, David O etc). The strength of our D are those guys up front. Zeke, Gurley etc have had tough days trying to effectively run on us.

Good match ups galore

The Saints have played five tough games and showed up for every one. Sooner or later everyone has a letdown. It also always concerns me when vegas puts out a line that looks off and essentially begs you to take one side. In this case, that would be the Saints.
