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!

You should take out a second mortgage on your home,
go to Vegas and bet it all on that up there. I think you got a pretty good shot.

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!

And so this is Christmas (War is Over, if you want it)
Saints 36, Birds 27
1. PT has 100+ total yds from scrimmage.
2. Bush scores at least once.
3. Saints D gets 2 or more takeaways.

Saints 34, Atlanta 17
1) Saints have more rushing yards than Atlanta
2) Drew Brees does not throw an interception
3) Darren Sharper gets his first int of the season.
Bonus: After Saints take big lead in the first half, there are more cheers for the Saints than Atlanta in the Georgia Dome.
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.
22000
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.
Saints 31 Falcons 27
1. Brees passes and/or runs for at least 3 TD’s.
2. Saints defense and/or special teams scores at least 1 TD.
3. Each team is in the lead at least twice.

1. Matt Ryan is picked off at least once
2. One of the pick(s) comes at the hand of Malcom Jenkins
3. Brees has a higher QB rating than Ryan
Bonus/Suggestion- The entire saints receiving corps (including Joe Horn) kidnaps a random Falcons player(gaspcough Roddy White, and for every catch they make, force him to say “week 3 was a fluke!”

3. Reggie scores at least one TD
Saints by 10 or more points!
1. Saints have no turnovers(I’m tired of the damn picks).
2. I want the FPK to make up for that missed FG in our first game with the Chicken Hawks by scoring at least 10 points.
3. I want the offence to make at least 150 yards on the ground and show the dirty birds what a Super Bowl Champion can do in thier house!
Bonus: There ain’t no damn bonus if our boys don’t meet the first three!

2. Atlanta wins the time of possession battle.
