This is a TOUGH one for me. I'm still on that emotional HIGH from beating the bills in buffalo. I hope the team has moved on though and that's what I'm a little scared of. I'm hoping we build off of the bills win and I think, due to our HC, we will. Pats 27 Saints 16.
The Saints defense is better than expected when looking at their first four games. Their secondary looks really good - similar to the Patriots when Christian Gonzalez plays. Their offense has some speed, but nothing the Pats can't match. This one will be won in the trenches.
34-17 ****ers. Defense shuts the Saints down and offense keeps it out of reach. I'll throw in a prediction of a defensive or ST TD, or at the least a set-up in the red zone.
Patriots 20
Saints. 23
Notwithstanding the tremendous leadership of Diggs saying this trap game will actually be harder to win, Drake Maye tries too hard and throws a couple of picks. One to awesome rookie safety Jonas Sanker, whom I love, and NFC defensive player of the week, Kool Aid McKinstry, their version of Gonzo.
