I doubt it

lol it was a joke

Three predictions for the game...

1.  The Falcons first offensive play will be a sweep to the New Orleans bench side of the field.  Steven Jackson will mysteriously be tackled out of bounds by fullback Bradie Ewing directly into Sean Payton.  Payton will have both his legs broken, and his ****** and uterus will have to be removed in an emergency de-pussification surgery immediately following the game.  He will spend the entire season coaching from the women's wing of Tulane Medical Center.

2.  Osi Umenyiora will notch his first sack in a Falcons Uniform near the beginning of the second quarter.  He will immediately pull a Dewitt Power Sander from his uniform and remove the birthmark from Drew Brees face.  It takes a few minutes, and Osi receives a 15 yard unsportmanlike penalty, but most of the analysts on the NFL Network set agree it is a vast improvement.  Drew's girlfriend, Heath Evans, vehemently disagrees.

3.  Near the end of the game, with the Falcons leading 34-14, the power mysteriously goes out at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.  The game is stopped for 64 minutes, until it is realized that a rat the size of a Toyota Land Cruiser has eaten through 34% of the power grid powering the Superdome.  In an unprecedented move, the NFL awards the Saints the win because of, in their words, "that whole Katrina thing".

I see 2 things happening:

We come out on fire, ready to upset NO in their house - 28-21

Or,

They come out on fire, ready to attempt to be good again - 35-31

Since 2008

Total Points
Saints - 266
Falcons - 239

Average PPG
Saints - 26.6
Falcons - 23.9

That's a points differential of 2.7, or less than a field goal per game. There's been 6 games decided by 5 points or fewer. Unfortunately the Falcons have only been on the right side of 1 of those games. There was another game that was an 8 point win for the Saints. Biggest win for the Saints was 29 points. Biggest win for the Falcons was 14 points.

Total Points in NO
Saints - 166
Falcons - 122

Average PPG in NO
Saints - 33.2
Falcons - 24.4

But that is really skewed by that 29 point Saints win. Take out that game and we have a much clear pitcher.

Total Points in NO
Saints - 121
Falcons - 106

Average PPG in NO
Saints - 30.3
Falcons - 26.5

That's a point differential of 3.8, or a little over a field goal.

Total Points in ATL
Saints - 102
Falcons - 117

Average PPG in ATL
Saints - 20.4
Falcons - 23.4

That's a point differential of 3.0, or exactly a field goal.

Basically on average the games in NO tend to be a bit more high scoring with the Saints usually coming out on top by around 4 points per game. Mean while the games in the ATL tend to be a bit lower scoring games.

The reason for that? Matt Ryan tends to play better against the Saints in NO than he does in ATL. Let's also not forget that one of the games in the ATL that Ryan didn't play in.
