SLICK NICK Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If we hold the ball like we did last week, no doubt we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5duece4trey Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 We are favored by 1/2 a point, and the over/under bet is 50 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dub Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It opened as a PK. I don't know, logically there would be plenty of money coming in on the Saints but they've still moved the line to ATL -1...maybe they want to trap people into taking the Saints. Anyway the people on here who always talk about respect and seem to care so much about what the media and the experts think, there's your respect...had it been opening week the Saints would have been favored by like a TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dardan Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Unless we can keep their offense off the field this is going to be a shootout. We need another big day in the run game to help out our defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East ATL a.k.a TROLL Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 EVERYBODY! Slow down! I want the falcons to win just as bad as the next falcons fan. But remember what Carolina with Steve Smith, and Muhammad did to our corners and our defense? With Brees playing the way he is, this game may not be pretty for the Falcons. I know everyone is high from our win against the Gaydairs, but the Saints have an explosive offense. Need to give them more respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaDupaFalconsFan Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 they have #1 Passing but we have #1 rushing, in order to win we must step up our passing defense but other then that their defense is open with our rushing and passing.

Everyone acts like we are going to shut the Saints down just cause were playin in the Dome. I want the falcons to win, but I also know a good offense when I see one and Saints has a really good offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Rox Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It is true that we got mamed by Carolina's passing game but its not really fair to compare that game with how this could end up. First of all, the Saints dont have the two headed running attack of Williams and Stewart. The Aints have McCallister and Stecker. Scary.Secondly, Foxworth is much better than Grimes and our secondary had been playing better as of late, in part to the improved pass rush.Last but not least, we are at home where we are 3-0, and they are on the road where they are 0-3.Its gonna be close but due to the fact that we are at home and the saints have had much more trouble with injury than us, ill take the falcons in this one.

This game is probably going to be a nail biter to the end though. Aints are definately more one dimensional though, if we can keep the ball and limit Brees to some extent we should be able to pull this one out.
