Tedy Bruschi's Breakdown -- New England Patriots vs. New Orleans Saints - ESPN Boston

Both bruschi and reiss pick saints.

Well, last week almost everybody picked the Pats to beat the Bengals, so hopefully they are all wrong this week too!

Edit - except Shefter, of course

This one feels like it could be ugly. But I felt good about last week's game and it was a disaster, so hopefully we get a nice reversal tomorrow.

plus Gronk is at his best when a certain hybrid jailed TE is also on the field.

That's just not true. Gronk has been Gronk with and without Hernandez.

If anything Gronk helped Hernandez.

NFL Picks - Straight Up - Week 6 - CBSSports.com
NFL Picks - Against the Spread - Week 6 - CBSSports.com

CBSSports.com has a 5-4 split in favor of the Saints.

NO: Jason La Canfora; Josh Katzowitz; Ryan Wilson; John Breech; Dave Richard
NEP: Pete Prisco, Will Brinson, Jamey Eisenberg, and their Computer Sim.
Against the 2.5-point spread its the same. except no computer pick.

Prisco's commentary:
The Patriots did nothing on offense last week against the Bengals. They now must face an improved Saints defense. But New Orleans is playing a second consecutive road game outside the division. And Tom Brady doesn't get held down two weeks in a row. Patriots get back on track in a fun, high-scoring game.
Patriots 29, Saints 26


Yahoo is 3-0 (Frank Schwab, Les Carpenter, Yahoo users) with the Saints to win.


FoxSports.com is 3-1 in favor of New Orleans, both straight up and against the spread.


Accuscore gives the Saints a 56% chance of winning what they expect to be a close game, and the Patriots a 43% chance of a victory.

Been limited. Reiss said in his chat yesterday that he doesnt expect him to play-saw him with his knees heavily iced.

Not only has Albert Breer reported that Ridley WILL play this weekend, Reiss doesn't even have him on his projected inactives today:
