New Orleans

Anyone like the Saints to upset the Hawks this week?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Hawks are coming off a "WTF was that!?" game. I expect Seattle's coaching staff to pin their ears back and go hard.

Thinking a 31-21 type of game, Hawks win.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Not really. They aren't healthy and virtually any offense in the league would give the Saints trouble on a per drive basis.

 

[bksballer89]

I do

 

[bstoves24]

I expect the Hawks to take care of business. That being said the Saints are going to be up for playing this game and going against Brees is never easy.

Doesn't the Saints have basically the worst defense in the league?

Upset is always possible, but I would never bet on the worst D in the league going up against one of the best D's in the league. Road game or not.

Actually NO ranks 16 in overall D while SEA is 3.
Converesely SEA is 29 in overall offense while NO is top 10.
Having said that I think SEA wins but would love to see NO take this one. It's likely another low scoring game. Not 6-6 after 5 quarters low but I could see a 13-10 type game.

New Orleans might not win, but they'll score at least 21-28 points, so Seattle's offense better be doing more than what they have been doing lately

New Orleans allows 2.7 points per drive, that's dead last in the league.

I only used the overall ratings. Not interested in nit picking each individual stat. I was responding to Wizard who asked if they had basically the worst D in the league not points per drive. I'm sure Seattle rates relatively low on points per drive offensively?

 

[Beaker]

I don't think NO is very good, but damn, they are one of only around 10 teams this year that are fun to watch.

That being said, Seattle will probably take it.

We actually are ranked 29th in overall D

I'll be shocked if its that's low scoring. This has 28-24 written all over this

 

[bksballer89]

I'm more interesting to see what we do against the Seattle defense. We're the 2nd ranked offensive team in football and this is the best passing attack Seattle will face all year.

Not by ESPN? They have NO total D as 16. I didn't spend any undue time searching anywhere else for the stats I quoted?

Seattle's O has looked quite inept most of the season. If NO can play any kind of D they should keep them under two TDs? We know any given Sunday maybe RW and co. get it figured out ant throw up a 30 burger? Seattle's D is stout so barring a Drew Brees explosion I don't see NO going much over two TDs. Again I hope I'm wrong.
Good luck to both teams. I have NO in my pools so more luck to them. Hopefully, it's an injury free game and not another flag fest.
Maybe Seattle learned how not to hold??? Lol

 

[ATL96Steeler]

In a word, no.

But...I can see NO making this a close game IF...they can get to RW. It will take a great day from Jordan and Kruger.

The question is how quickly will the Seattle Defense recover from the Marathon game against Arizona. They were on the field over 46 minutes.

NE passing O might have something to say about that now that TB has been set free.

You're just looking at total yards not total yards per game. We already had a bye week which is the reason why they're 16th in total yards allowed.
