Pats fan here, Don’t expect this game will be as high scoring as everyone else thinks, both these defenses are underrated. so here are my predictions,
1. patriots will come out strong early and will lead by at least 10 points at one point in the game
2. i expect the saints running game to struggle, at least in the first half.
3. the game will be close in the fourth quarter and a controversial pass interference call will play huge into deciding who wins.

1. Patriots lead at the first half 2:00 warning

2. Brady is intercepted at least once

3. Saints rushing & passing yards differ by 50 or less

well, without the huge fourth and 2 gamble.

Enjoy this win, but don’t bother watching any highlights of the game on Tuesday. You will soon know what its been like living in Indiana the past decade. No matter what your Saints do on the field Monday night the only story you’ll hear Tuesday morning from ESPN, NFL, NBC, CBS, FOX will be how the Patriots did this or that. For those fans hoping a big win Monday will give the Saints the respect they deserve I’m sorry to let you know it probably won’t happen. The media outlets have sold their souls to New England and it appears nothing will change that anytime soon. Enjoy this win, I know all of Indiana will be rooting for you!!!
