Falcons vs Saints Predictions
A good old-fashioned bounce-back spot after firing the head coach. After last week's loss to the Panthers, the Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen following six straight losses.
This week, we're backing them. Why? Firing a coach often provides a big morale boost. Does it work? In almost every sport. For example, last year in college basketball Ohio State fired Chris Holtmann midseason. In the very next game, the Buckeyes took down No. 2 Purdue at home. This past week in college football, Rice fired Mike Bloomgren. The Owls took down Navy as 13-point underdogs. Want an NFL example? Most recently, last season, the Raiders fired Josh McDaniels, and the following week, they beat the Packers after losing three straight. The first System Play Sunday of the season.
On the other side, the Falcons are coming off back-to-back wins over the Buccaneers and the Cowboys. This will be the second matchup between these divisional rivals. Their first meeting was back in September, when the Falcons edged the Saints 26-24. New Orleans led in almost every statistical category. The Saints should be out for revenge, with a massive chip on their shoulder after the coaching change.
When it feels impossible, that is the time to trust.
When you have a system, trust it. Saints.
Prediction: Saints Win & Cover
