.... when the Saints return to the Superdome, for the first time since Hurricane Katrina.
They face divisional rivals, Atlanta , led by the ridiculously gifted Michael Vick, both teams are 100% for the season.
Quite frankly the rushing numbers put up by the Falcons, have been mind numbing. An average of 279 yards with 25 carries of 10 yards or more.
Sure that teams will work out how to stop them sooner or later, but it is not easy. It is all about speed and is very simple. Vick takes the snap and either gives it to Warrick Dunn, or keeps it himself, as both run opposite directions, it is incredible hard to defend. OK there is a little more to it, but with so much to look for on the ground, it makes opponents vunerable in the air too.
The defence has done it's part and has yet to give up a touchdown in 8 quarters. Kicking has been a big problem, but 46 yo Morten Andersen has rejoined and will see action tonight.
Falcons are 16-6 against the Saints since 1995 and I expect them to add to that total and cover the spread.
They have two home games up next, so a win will give them the opportunity to set up their best start in franchise history.
4 points Atlanta Falcons -3.5 points 1.86 betfair.
Good Luck.
