    I'm guessing for their stopping the streak last year.

    This one won't be easy. With Atl's monumental (yet typical) failure this year, this game becomes their Super Bowl.

    No, 41-17 probably won't happen. These two teams play each other fairly well and the games are usually close.

    Buuuuutttttt . . . (and I realize this could be said about just about every game at every level) if the Saints come out and create a couple of quick turnovers and/or quick scores while not allowing the Falcons' O to get into any sort of rhythm and end up 14+ up at the half, Atlanta folds. It could get Dallas ugly.

    On the other hand, if the teams trade scores and it's a one possession (or at worst 10 point) Saints lead at the half, it'll probably be a nail biter.

    For having his worst game ever as an NFL QB.

    On a side note, Steve Korte is the worse radio announcer I ever heard. Can't believe they actually pay that mofo to do the 1st take show with Todd.

    I've never heard him on the radio.

    I would say that Hokie is the worst color announcer in NFL history.

    No Jahri Evans or Sproles tonight.

    So I would temper my prediction to 31-17 Saints.

    Well, we've already given up 10 points, but the offense is cooking. Brees is on his game, and the running game is starting to open up.

    Deja vu'....Jimmy Graham wrecks an Atlanta goal post, just as he did in 2011.

    Man, it's good to see them get pressure with just front 4. Back to back sacks. Did you see the one defensive alignment in the first half? Only one down lineman. RR is mixing it up tonight.
