My favorite trend in all of sports, and it's incredibly simple....
Week 4: Saints good WIN vs. the 49ers
Week 5: Saints bad LOSS vs. the Vikings
Week 6: Saints good WIN vs. the Raiders
Week 7: Saints bad LOSS vs the Panthers
Week 8: Saints good WIN vs. the Chargers
What similarity do you see between the two LOSSES there? The Vikings and Panthers both have solid defenses and a solid running game, and a quarterback that plays smart. All of these things the Falcons have.
Atlanta -1
Prediction: Falcons 24 Saints 17

if i were forced to take a side, it'd probably be the saints, but i can't pull the trigger on it myself. the most glaring stat to me is the fact that the saints are 0-3 SU on the road this season while the falcons are 3-0 SU at home. i wouldn't use past stats in this matchup because this falcons team has a whole new look to it. m. ryan has played much better than i expected and atlanta hasn't had explosive playmakers like m. turner or r. white in a long time. i'll be completely honest, the falcons have won more games already (5) than i thought they would the whole season. i thought they would be the worst team in football. the saints are arguably the most inconsistent team in the NFL and you never know what to expect. i'm not wagering my money on it, there are much better games on sunday's card.
