M Jenkins pick 6
Ivory TD on the screen pass

Bombs away to Meachem
D Henny has long rush on that crazy end around thing Payton likes to run
Payton will wear a visor

Cards do some stuff to get 27 but I don’t know what that is
One of the announcers say “These are the Saints we got use to last year….”

Eventually, I guess. Not this week.

1. Drew throws for three touchdowns.
2. Ladell Betts scores his first rushing touchdown as a Saint.
3. Saints have a special teams score.

Unfortunately, the defense doesn’t do all that great a job, and the score is closer than it should be, 38-27. (Man, I hate when someone posts part of my score just ahead of me!)

1. Max Hall will not throw a TD
2. Saints D force a safety
3. Betts will score a TD

1. Hall throws at least 1 TD and 1 INT
2. A pass rush exists by pressuring Hall at least 8 times with 1 sack.
3. Brees has 3 TDs, one of them is a pass over 20 yards.

1) Saints block a punt.
2) Saints block a field goal.
3) Saints get called for a block in the back.

Bonus – Saints place a player on trading block.

1. Betts has 1+ TDs
2. Carney misses his first FG of the year
3. Max Hall QB Rating under 60

1. Another sloppy game where the Saints don’t play well enough to win, but do anyway.
2. Ladell Betts scores a TD
3. Ivory fumbles

1, Brees has 200+ yards passing along with a TD.
2. Saints combine for over 100 yards rushing,and 2 TDs.
3. Hall throws for 200+ yards,and 2 INT.

(Bonus;Saints play sloppy football yet again,and win with a last minute TD after the Cards kick a FG for an apparent win.)

Note: The one time I didn’t participate in the game predictions, the Saints lost.

1. Colston gets his first TD
2. Saints Defense has 2 Ints
3. Saints average at least 25 yards per return on kickoffs

1 – saints rush for 120+ yards
2 – brees scores 3+ TDs
3 – saints get 3+ sacks

(in protest of the lame voting for last weeks prediction winner, i am posting the exact same predictions this week. you will all have a chance to redeem yourselves when i go 3 for 3 this week!)

1. Brees throws between 310 and 340 yards with at least 2 TD’s.

2. Chris Ivory has at least 70 yards from scrimmage and a TD with NO fumbles.

3. The Cardinals of under 240 total yards of offense and turn the ball over at least twice.

Cards Defense is currently ranked 29th (22nd pass, 30th run). Saints also rolled on them in the playoffs last year. I don’t think this is a sure thing, but I think it helps the Saints look more like 2009 for one game, at least.

1 Sam Bradford is charged with 3+ turnovers (interceptions thrown/fumbles)
2 Saints rush for 162+ team yards
3 Tim Hightower has 90+ combined yards

Bonus: There will be no “we coulda drafted Beanie Wells!” wailing in the game day comments on CSC. The rookie QB will impress in a losing effort. The name “Kurt Warner” will be uttered 14 times on the TV broadcast, “Karlos Dansby” only once. Bill Bidwell will not be shown wearing a bow tie and his dumbass kid will not be shown doing this:

But he could very well be shown doing something like this:

1. Brees throws 2 TD passes

2. Ivory and Betts each run for a TD

3. Colston Catches his first TD of the season

Bonus: Saints will punt only once !

1. Pierre will be held out.
2. Hartley will be inactive
3. Saints win

1. Carney is perfect on FGs
2. Ivory scores TD
3. Defense snatches 2 INTs

1. Brees tops 300 and no picks
2. Lance scores at least once
3. Saints tally at least three sacks

1) Carney is 4/5 on FGs.
2) Saints never trail in the game.
3) Tusk gets his 1st NFL TD.

Bonus prediction: We do not feast on this rookie QB as much as we would like our D to.

Bonus comment: Max Hall sounds like the towing capacity of a truck. The max haul on this bad boy is 500 lbs. On a good day.

1) Brees will have at least 300 yds passing

2) Saints will score at least 1 defensive TD

3) Saints will win the turnover battle

1. Brees throws for at least 275 yds & a 105+ QB rating.

3. Saints get 2 or more picks.

1. Drew passes for over 275 yards.
2. Cards rush for over 150 yards.

1. Meachem finally shows up – 5+ receptions, 80+ yards, 1+ TD.
