Be careful, this isnt your daddys' Saints
I had the over 48.5 vs Carolina last week, and it took a last Carolina drive to get that over
And the Falcons inability to score concerns me
Saints are basically 2 games up on both teams. They can afford a L tonight with the next 2 at home. Hard to see either team sweeping the season series considering they play 2x over the next 3 weeks. It will likely be a split.
A loss does change the dynamics, but the Saints will still be in control regardless of the week 14 outcome because they own a season sweep over CAR.
I'm going with the desperate team tonight...the Falcons.
No doubt - But still, this is a massive game and could go into effect in determining the division.
Yea im expecting a falcons win as well. Desperate team knowing season is likely done with an L tonight

We still don't know if Ingram will play or not but if he doesnt, I wouldn't be as optimistic as some people iv'e seen have been . If Kamara is forced into the lead-back role, his efficiency will tank. The strength of the saints running game is in their ability to use BOTH zone stretch runs with Kamara and between-the-tackles runs with Ingram and it makes things much easier on a defense and personnel if you only have one than if you have two of different stylesNeed Kamara to have a good game to set my FF team off to a good start. Trying to improve to 11-3 this weekend and go into the postseason as the top dog.

Now from a fantasy perspective this shouldn't be much of a problem and maybe is a positive. Much more volume plus considerably lower efficiency will still equal an rb1 performance if he finds the endzone which has been a damn good bet lately. But don't expect some god-mode performance.
And from a football perspective, if Ingram misses, that is indeed a big blow to the Saints, even if he hasn't been the bright, shining star as of late compared to Kamara
Saints. This will be another game where the Falcons come up small.
I think they are 3-3 at home. If they come up small I think it will be on OFC and if so I think Sarkisian will be a 1 and done OC.
I'm predicting a win tonight.
My motto is usually "always take the dog at home".
Last week I went against it and only went 15-1 because I took Philly in Seattle.
This week I'm going against it because Dallas needs Hot Lanta to lose.
I think the Saints run all over them tonight.
Watch it be 42-17we actually have a decent Thursday night game ... weird
Watch it be 42-17
Which part?
If the Falcons win, The Saints would move to 9-4. Panthers are 8-4, and Falcons would be 8-5 with a tie breakers now over the Saints.
I actually thought you two played again.
Well we still have two games between these two teams, and if we win out, the division is ours. Unlikely, but with the amount of talent on the Falcons team, not really that far reaching.
