Matt Ryan is hitting his stride and making nice passes to the sidelines, but Drew Brees is still incredible with his "throwing-to-the-eyes" technique. The Chargers couldn't keep up with them, what makes you think the Falcons can. Early lean on Saints pick.

Falcons by 10.
 
Tell me, who's good on the Aints defense ? No one.
 
Turner will hit the 100 yard mark and Ryan will throw for 300.
 
Falcons D finally came together as a whole. Domonique Foxworth has been playing amazing. Jamaal Anderson has been playing amazing.
 
Falcons will not lose at home.

New Orleans - 20                  Atlanta - 17
Saints +1                        under 50
Maybe both defenses decide to show up today...
At one time didn't the visitor in this series always win or at least cover????? Saints really need this game.

Die Hard Saints fan here, I've lived in LA all of my life and followed the Saints since I was a kid. AtlantaSports is right about us. Our team isn't looking to good right now. We lost Reggie prior to the London game and Charles Grant was just put on I.R., replaced by Hollis Thomas who was cut early on for being too fat. This 1 point line is to get the public to bet on the saints so vegas can make money. Trust me, the Falcons are going to win this game even though the Saints NEED it.

Atlanta get exposed here.  Brees will shred the Atlanta secondary.  Saints in a laugher.

Good info for your first post maqbill. You're like Silent Bob. Quiet, but when you write something you make it count! Ha! Seriously, I like the info. Leaning towards Atlanta here.

What makes you think the majority of the public will take new orleans? I've been hearing alot of love for matt ryan and atlanta lately, almost nothing about new orleans.

Last week I took Oak in a teaser

I have bet against Atl three times this year and

Matt Ryan is the real deal, He doesn't care who he is throwing it against, he just wings it with awesome velocity 

Turner is a beast and remember no REGGIE BUSH!! 

This might be my play of the week

i'm actually with atlanta sports here... not that i'm going to say he's right.. but he kinda is.  Yeah he's a die hard homer and may only make money on ATL by virtue of their winning ATS record this year, but this is one of the times his team comes through for sure...

once again the vast majority is on the saints on the road and once again i am fading them there.  i love breesy and that offense too, but until sean payton realizes that he needs a good defense to go with an amazing offense, his team will keep getting shredded on the road... the only reason that ATL isn't favored by more is their meetings last year and the saints consistently being overvalued in the eyes of the public.

Matt ryan may not be THAT amazing, but he won't lose the game any more than brees will and the falcons are sure going to get a hell of a lot more from their defense than the saints are on the road... even if they can't get ground yards against an occasionally stout NO run D, that ryan will shred that secondary with the crowd at his back... anyways, i'm just saying

ATL -1

[I got to get this game right and Atlanta wins here! by 4.  This could be a fun game, shootout!

Turner goes off and I see the aints trying to get the lead early by passing silly here, with the falcs trying to run the clock to keep brees off the field.  50 is a high number, so turnovers tell the tale here.  I will leave the o/u alone and ride atlanta to the bank.  Anyone else need a lift to the bank of aints? LOL

I do not think this will be a shootout because Atlanta will not make it one. Turner should keep Brees on the sideline as i would imagine that is the gameplan. Mike Smith has been an amazing rookie head coach and he makes adjustments every week and i'm sure hes got something up his sleve that will shut down the Saints offense. I know that the Falcons defense will stop the Saints RBs. Its going to be Brees vs. the pass defense. Domonique Foxworth is now officially one of the two starting corners. He has been playing shut down lately. Chris "run it back to" Houston is still the other as he has been playing good as well. I really really really like what i am seeing out of rookie linebacker Curtis Lofton. He has been playing amazing for a rookie MLB. If you watched him in college or his games so far in the NFL you would know how good this kid can be. Ask the Oklahoma fans they will sure tell ya. Thats been the story with the Falcons lately, rookies. Matt Ryan , Sam Baker (get well soon) , Curtis Lofton, Harry Douglas, Chevis Jackson ... What a great draft. The future looks bright. Now that we will be good for years with Matt Ryan, in the offseason FA's will see us as contenders and want to come over to us.

See this game being a slugfest between these two squads. ATL should be able to score against this NO defense even though before London they were playing well.
NO will move the ball with Brees but it will probably be all on his shoulders to keep up. Can see Abraham giving pressure and causing turnovers.
ATL at home and the Over(got to think about that one at 50 though).
