Saints Whip Falcons

The New Orleans Saints are mad about the Week 14 loss on Thursday Night Football to the Atlanta Falcons. They are ready to get revenge on the Falcons and get themselves into the postseason. The Saints would love to be part of the reason Atlanta does not get back into the postseason this year.

Look for a big game from Drew Brees. Brees has great weapons, and can sling the football all over the field. He also has a pair of talented running backs. This will be an interesting game, but the home team is where we are going with this game. When you are betting on this game – take the New Orleans Saints -5 over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
