The Saints and Falcons have not had their ideal starts to the season. Both teams are 1-1, but the Falcons have suffered massive attrition and an ugly loss, albeit one to the team that won the Super Bowl last year. The Saints are dealing with some injuries, too, but more than that they’re just not playing the caliber of football many, including myself, expected of them in the early going.
These two teams meet this week, and with history as our guide, I think it’s fair to expect it to be a close, nerve-wracking contest.
