New Orleans
Saints (5-6) at Atlanta Falcons (10-1):
The Saints have had Matt Ryan’s number throughout his
career, and it doesn’t help Atlanta that Drew Brees is just consistently
electrifying against the NFC South. Marques Colston, Lance Moore and Jimmy
Graham all seem to be back to full health, and the Saints’ backfield
performance has steadily improved since the return of Joe Vitt.
All that said, Matt Ryan has been just as good, if not
better, than Drew Brees, through this point in the season. Roddy White, Julio
Jones and Tony Gonzalez trump their Saints counterparts overall, and Jacquizz
Rodgers has stepped up his running game as Michael Turner’s annual late-season
slide begins. Add to that, the Falcons were already upset by New Orleans on the
road, and they can wrap up the division with a win tonight, and Atlanta has all
the motivation it needs to close this one down.
Atlanta
Falcons: 31-27
