NO 41 ATL 17

Ya boy has some mighty expectations in this one. After last week I see some exploding rb’s and some stingy and stunning D on the adjusting. So:

1) brees passes for more than 250 yards.
2) saints rush for 150 yards or more.
3) falcons commit 2 or more turnovers.

Ok. Let’s beat the pesky falcons and shut that butthead receiver up! WHO DAT!

It won’t even be close. Matty Ice is going to spend the evening confused as hell by GW’s non-blitzing coverages, and…

1. Michael Turner will rush for under 100 yards.

2. The Saints will win the turnover battle by at least a 2-to-1 margin.

3. Mike Smith will be caught on national TV having at least one profanity-laden tirade.

Note to Falcons fans: Relax…I haven’t been right yet this season.

Saints 34, Falcons 20

1 Two turnovers charged to Matt Ryan.
2 TUSK! rushes for over 65 yards.
3 Sharod Lamor “Roddy” White is held to under 50 yards receiving and no TD’s.

Michael Vick is only mentioned in the context of his declaration that he should be in the pro bowl. Conspicuous by its absence is the vision of Arthur Blank pushing him around in a wheelchair on the sideline. Home Depot is offering 10% off on all appliances $398 or more. I will cross my fingers hoping Mike Smith gets pissed enough to destroy his headset on the field of play. Harry Douglas makes a case that he deserves Michael Jenkins’ job. Darren Sharper and Tony Gonzalez have a smile contest during pregame warmups, Sharper wins by a lower bicuspid. The national TV audience sees Terry Robiskie on the sideline but only 2% say “Hey! Didn’t he used to coach for the Raiders?” Postgame, our fat punk backup quarterback is seen sharing a lighthearted moment with William Moore… Mizzou… GAAA!!! Whoops! It’s not absent anymore!

Ultra Bonus: After Atlanta loses a heart breaker, and with Carolina having nothing to lose, as they have already locked up the #1 pick, and John Fox, looking to pad his resume for next season for whatever team he lands on, beat the Falcons at home, Saints go on to win against TB, and lock in the #1 seed in NFC for second year in a row.

I agree with u’r ultra bonus. Very much the way I stated a couple of weeks ago. It could easily happen. Draft pick or not, Fox doesn’t care about that, he wants to beat the Falcons because he really dislikes them and a win over the birds would get him a real good coaching spot. I think, if Fox can get his team right just for that final game, they could beat those birds really bad because the birds will be so worried about the Saints taking the division, that they will screw up.
 Another thing, tonight I think the Falcons will have injuries to them done by the Saints, not purposely. So next week they’ll have some missing. And their starters will be forced to play so that they can try and win the division. Carolina just may take out a couple more starters.
